PRIDE Model of Practice


The PRIDE Model of Practice was initially created by a partnership of Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) and Illinois Department Children Family Services (DCFS), numerous agencies, organizations and a university around the USA and OKS in the Netherlands. In Europe the Dutch foundation OKS has been instrumental in almost all implementations.

Innovative movement

The portfolio of the Netherlands based OKS Foundation has often focused on exploration of (scientific) preliminary work that frequently took place elsewhere in the world (USA and New Zealand). It focused on changing the relationship between professionals and society: How does the meaning of the professional to parents and their children remain optimally valuable, and how can citizens keep the control over their own lives?  

In contributing to the answer to that question, OKS became an 'innovative movement' and started to forge connections with implementing organisations, scientists and administrators as soon as possible.
