Parent Aide Program

Our Parent Aide Program’s inception was over 25 years ago. Therapeutic Parent Aides provide assistance and resources to English and Spanish speaking families throughout the community with the main goal of family reunification. The program provides services to the Worcester area, the North Central region which includes Fitchburg and Leominster, and several towns in the South Central region such as Webster, Southbridge, and Dudley.

When a family is in crisis, the Catholic Charities Parent Aide Program is a short term service, typically three to four months, that works to restore positive functioning in families who would benefit from a variety of coordinated services that are individualized to meet each family’s specific needs. We have a strong commitment to services that uplift the lives of children and families in the communities in which they live. The Parent Aides work side-by-side with Department of Children and Families (DCF) and social workers with the families that are in crisis and assist them with attaining resources to stabilize the family unit. This program recognizes family challenges, the cycles of abuse, and works to educate the parents about focusing on changes that will bring success to each and every family.
