OUR PURPOSE

• Improve quality and consistency of programming
• Increase professionalism and credibility of family support
• Strengthen organizations providing family support services
• Provide a sense of security and confidence to funders and participants
• Provide programs with a low cost alternative to credentialing

The credentialing process was designed for family support programs that are not currently credentialed through a national process and do not have access to an outside evaluation. Both in home family support programs and group based parent education programs are eligible to apply.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

• Parallel to family support work with families
• Start where the program is at
• IFSC is flexible to meet the unique needs of the diverse programs
• Work in partnership – “don’t do for”
• Provide a clear expectations of regular program progress
