SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These grantees have developed unique 
approaches to address child abuse and neglect prevention efforts in 
their communities, with independently rigorous evaluation approaches 
and similar program outcomes:
     Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic provides Spanish-
language parenting education classes targeting low-income, Spanish-
speaking migrant families. The goals of the parenting education program 
are to prevent child abuse and neglect and promote healthy family 
development, increase family and community protective factors and 
resilience, and demonstrate the benefits of collaboration between 
child/family serving programs.
     The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Parent Partner 
Project provides three evidence-informed practices: (1) The Parent 
Partner model; (2) Positive Indian Parenting; and (3) Mind Body 
Awareness Mindfulness Training. The target population is American 
Indian families residing on the Flathead Indian Reservation in 
northwestern Montana who have substantiated cases of abuse or neglect 
or who are providing foster care services to children from such 
families.
    Both organizations provide effective and comprehensive child abuse 
prevention activities and family support services that enhance the 
lives and ensure the safety and well-being of migrant and Native 
American children and their families. The supplemental funding will 
afford these entities the opportunity to provide expanded and enhanced 
child abuse prevention activities and family support services

    Statutory Authority: Title II of the Child Abuse Prevention and 
Treatment Act, 42 U.S.C. 5116 et seq., as amended, Pub. L. 111-320.
