Parents' Early Education for their Children

Parents' Early Education for their Children (PEECH) is a collaborative endeavor directed by the Early Intervention Program, University of Oregon, in collaboration with the Relief Nursery's Accessing Success Program, Therapeutic Early Childhood Program, and Adult and Child Mental Health Services. This project will provide critical parenting education and support and infant mental health services to vulnerable families with infants and toddlers who have been prentally exposed to illegal drugs and alcohol. Identified gaps in these service delivery areas will be filled by providing classroom-based and support group interventions. Peers who have been successful in parenting and drug treatment will assist interventionists. In addition, this project will focus on gathering data on outcomes of identified infants and their families as well as continued assessment of related unmet needs in Lane County. Finally, we anticipate the development of a model that can be replicated in additional counties in Oregon.
