VPRC achieves these outcomes by: Providing legal advocacy and family support services for parents at risk of having their children placed in state or other out-of-home custody; Using a multi-disciplinary approach to legal representation for parents involved in the child welfare system; and Advocating for effective supports at the state and local policy level.
