Creating a Web-Based Resource for a Population At Risk

Los Angeles has had a program that has benefited incarcerated mothers a lot. They are given visitation rights where their children who are between 0 up to 21 years can visit them in these placements that are out of the home. These women are generally at the CRDF, and for them to enjoy these rights, they must possess an active family Reunification plan, (NASWMA, 2010, July 23). Mothers having a restraining order or the ones that have been told to stay away from are the ones that are not allowed to have these rights, and the IPP does not cover them.

I fully support that it should be maintained because it has helped a lot of mothers to complete any kind of court-ordered programs. There are supportive services to the released parents and also resource referrals for them which facilitate an even better outcome, (Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, 2019). The social workers in this program continue helping the released parents on how to maneuver, which brings better outcomes because when a person is given a direction, they do go back the activities that put them in trouble.

The program is also not discriminative because it serves the people that come first. Serving people first means that it is helpful for all citizens, unlike programs that prioritize people with status or more to offer (National Indian Child Welfare Association, 2014). This program is mainly there to help the whole county and to make it a better place. The fact that these mothers are given these visitation rights gives them the will to become better, to the right their wrongs and to be the best versions of themselves.
