The Parent Support Outreach Program: Minnesota's Early Intervention Track.

In this article, the authors share the initial findings from the Parent Support Outreach Program (PSOP), a pilot project in Minnesota that created a preventive pathway for families. They describe the project by identifying the existence of child maltreatment risk factors including poverty, domestic violence and homelessness. They note that two out of three families that received PSOP services reported that they felt more able to care for their children than they did a year ago.
