Individual and Systemic Advocacy The Family Preservation Collective/CCFP is the go to place for families who seek advocacy in the child welfare system. Each parent who walks through our doors is given information and materials that would otherwise not be available to them on Staten Island. FPC/CCFP provides individual advocacy to families who must attend case conferences at the Administration for Children’s Services and its contract agencies. Most low-income families cannot afford legal representation at case conferences and are unaware of what to expect. As an independent agency we accompany mothers and fathers to case conferences to answer their questions, and advocate for a positive outcome. The FPC/CCFP program consists of strong educational advocacy, self-awareness, peer support, and empowerment components. To accomplish our work, FPC/CCFP educates and equips women with the skills needed to successfully navigate the child welfare system, to begin the process towards family healing, and ultimately to move the family towards a reality that is shaped by self determination. |
