Hope Network West Michigan (HNWM) will implement a new program called Reuniting Parents and Kids (RePAK).

Services will utilize evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy classes and will include holistic case management, parent support groups, mentoring, employment assistance and job retention support, and facilitation of family engagement activities.
