The Wichita Branch NAACP to launch a "Parent-Ally" Initiative
Families currently involved in the Child Welfare system have the right to request and appoint up to two Parent Allies, who are then empowered to attend court hearings with, provide detailed and qualified assistance to, and advocate in support of the Parents. In order for a person to serve as a Parent Ally in Sedgwick County, they must first complete a training session administered by the Sedgwick County Permanency Coordinating Council. The Wichita Branch is now assembling a pool of volunteers who will attend the training and serve as Parent Allies.
