Creating a Culture Shift Through Power-Sharing

Working across the pediatric care system to strengthen parent-child relationships and ensure access to quality care can drive lasting impact on healthy development.

our 14 Standards of Care

Collaboration strengthens early childhood systems. The Pediatrics Supporting Parents model…

  • Parents – Info here about nurturing parents’ competence and confidence and elevating parent voice both within individual visits as well as informing the PSP program.
  • Clinicans – Focused on strengthening parent-child bonds, which are critical for resilience and success.
  • Partners & Funders – what policy of community support is involved, as well as recognize national funders 

PSP uses a unique model that centers equitable collaboration. The Governance Body is composed of 12 PSP stakeholders:

  • One parent of young children ages 0-5 from each community (family leaders)
  • One pediatrician/frontline provider from each community
  • Two funder representatives

The Path Forward

We must help the health care system understand the importance of early childhood and early relational health.

Together, we can break silos while staying focused on our ultimate goal of supporting children’s social and emotional development and nurturing parent-child relationships.
