Parent Support Outreach Program (PSOP)
The Parent Support Outreach Program (PSOP) is an early intervention program providing short-term voluntary support for at-risk children and families identified through screened out child maltreatment reports, community or self-referrals. The Minnesota Department of Human Services provides an annual allocation to county and tribal agencies to implement PSOP in their communities. This website provides policies and procedures, information, tools and resources for PSOP professionals (direct staff, support staff and supervisors). Relevant and up-to-date resources are provided to support and improve PSOP implementation, enhance family engagement, strengthen practice, and ultimately improve outcomes for children and families. Direct questions regarding PSOP may be sent to DHS.CSP.PSOP@state.mn.us.
