Prioritizing and Planning Parent Outreach for Adoptive and Guardianship Families: QIC-Tips for Success – In addition to valuable programming insights from the interventions supporting adoptive and guardianship families in the eight partner sites, the QIC-AG learned essential and practical lessons about parent outreach; an element of implementation that can sometimes be overlooked. To be effective, parent outreach typically requires a deliberate, multi-faceted approach that includes; crafting a poignant message for the target audience, determining who is best to deliver the message, ensuring cultural appropriateness and authenticity, as well as clearly determining when and how the messages and information will be delivered. As a result of their collective work, the QIC-AG teams learned prioritizing and planning for parent outreach is a key ingredient to ensure the most helpful/best intervention is delivered to the intended target population.
