Parent Peer Support Project - PPSP Final Report

Support and help for parents and family is a fundamental children’s right. Yet, parents and family in the Australian child protection system continue to be excluded, causing untold grief, loss and trauma to their children. Family inclusive innovations are needed to empower parents and family to participate in the processes that profoundly affect them and their children. Peer support and advocacy is a family inclusive innovation and an important part of making sure parents and family can participate in their children’s lives. There is growing evidence that supports the effectiveness of peer initiatives.
