Parent Aide focuses on efforts to reunite parents with their children who have been removed by the Arizona Department of Child Safety. Our ultimate goal is to encourage birth parents to gain the skills and abilities they need to maintain a safe home and environment for their child. The Parent Aide ministry provides an opportunity to develop relationships with parents and to encourage them while they are in a difficult period in their lives. We have the message of hope that is in Jesus Christ and we show His compassion and concern through this ministry. Parent Aide is a ministry of Arizona Baptist Children’s Services & Family Ministries (ABCS). 

Parent Aide Services

Parent aides work with families and the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) to strengthen families and aid in the reunification process. These services are only available for families referred to ABCS. 

Supervised Visits

Parent aides facilitate supervised visits between parents and their children. Supervised visits occur for families to enjoy each other and maintain contact with one another while their case with DCS is being resolved.
