The Parent-Child Assistance Program (PCAP) is a paraprofessional intervention
for high-risk women and their families. This position will be responsible
for providing direct outreach, home visitation case management, and
advocacy services to high-risk mothers who have used alcohol and/or
drugs heavily during pregnancy, and to their children, partners, and
extended families when needed. In addition, the Lead Case Manager will
