Our impact
Our Success
HB 197
HB 197, also known as the Servicemember Civil Relief Act, went into effect on July 1, 2020. RC1 proposed the bill to protect parents’ rights during their service in the military. The bill passed with unanimous support. Our agency has the honor of representing many servicemembers in North Florida and we are proud to have been a part of this very important legislation for our clients and all Patriot Parents.
Parent Support Specialist Program
For the first time in Florida’s history, federal funding has been made available for parent representation through what is known as Title IV-E funding. This has allowed RC1 to create the Parent Support Specialist (PSS) program to serve families we represent within the First Region. The PSS program utilizes forensic social workers and other professional support staff to work alongside the attorney assigned to represent the parent, resulting in a high-quality and effective legal representation team. Parents assisted by the PSS program may reduce safety risks to children, achieve permanency sooner, and reduce the time children spend in out-of-home care. The PSS program is in the early stages of development and will eventually be available to parents who qualify in all 32 counties of the First Region.
