The Minnesota Parent Leadership Network assists professionals in identifying and supporting parent leaders within your community. As a team we’ll identify training needs, and how to partner effectively with other parent leaders. Our regional and community representatives can work with you to identify parent leaders in your community and offer ongoing support for the work they will be doing with you.

The Importance of Family Involvement.

• Family participation saves money. Programs that are designed, delivered and evaluated with family input are more effective.
• Families function better when they get what they need. Relationships are improved on all fronts.
• Ultimately service design, delivery and evaluation will reflect the real and practical needs of children and their families.
  
• Families from all cultures are able to help you to understand how to provide services that are culturally sensitive and competent.
