ADREWS SLECTED AS A FAHS-BECK FELLOW

Arlene Bowers Andrews, Professor in the USC College of Social Work, has been selected as a Fahs-Beck Fellow by the Fahs-Beck Fund for Research and Experimentation at The New York Community Trust. She has received a grant for $15,000 for pilot work on the project, "Effects of Shared Leadership on Service Providers and Parents for Vulnerable Families." Dr. Andrews is collaborating with the National Center for Shared Leadership, an affiliate of Parents Anonymous®, an international organization that helps vulnerable parents prevent child abuse through parental mutual support and parent-professional partnerships.  Using community-based participative research, the project will lay the foundation for developing a team of academicians, parent leaders, and community service providers who will examine the effects of Shared Leadership in Action, a skills development program that prepares parents and staff to work together for change in child and family services systems.
