What is a Parent Partner?

Parent Partners are individuals, often with lived experience as parents or caregivers of children with behavioral, mental health, or developmental challenges, who provide peer support and advocacy for other families navigating similar systems. They use their personal experiences to offer guidance, emotional support, and practical advice to parents, helping them understand and access community resources and services. Parent Partners work alongside professionals in educational, healthcare, or social service settings to empower families and improve outcomes for children.

Parent Partners use their lived experience to provide emotional support, guidance, and advocacy for families navigating complex child and family services. They often work alongside case managers, therapists, and educators, ensuring families' voices are heard and needs are met. Collaboration is key, as Parent Partners help bridge communication gaps and coordinate resources, making the service process less overwhelming for parents. This teamwork approach fosters trust, empowers families, and improves outcomes for children and youth.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Parent Partner, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Parent Partner, you need lived experience navigating child and family services, a solid understanding of support systems, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with case management software, documentation tools, and local community resources is typically required.

PCC is seeking a full-time parent partner for the new MiFamily Together contract, working out of St. Clair and Sanilac Counties. The parent partner is a unique role that provides advocacy and education through lived experience to referred parents involved in MDHHS. PCC is seeking a person with a past open CPS or foster care case that was successfully closed, who is willing to share parenting experiences as a learning opportunity for other parents, community partners, and referring workers.

The parent partner must have a GED or diploma, vehicle/license, and ability to provide a flexible schedule, working some evenings and the occasional weekend. Hourly pay rate is $15-18/hr based on experience and education. The parent partner must pass a criminal background check and a Children's Protective Services background check, and cannot have a felony conviction or be placed on the Central Registry.

Competitive Benefits Offered:

  • Cofinity Medical Insurance
  • Dental, Vision, Life, Short and Long Term Disability
  • 401K
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Direct Supervision
  • Remote work for some job tasks (paperwork, trainings, some meetings- approximately 60%)
  • Paid sick and vacation time earned monthly and paid holidays
  • Enrichment activities, including on-site events
