MPACT |
(Moving Parents And Children Together) Program What is MPACT? MPACT, a project of Luna Kids Dance, was founded in 2001 to bring parent-child dance classes to families in the Alameda County Dependency Court and child welfare systems. * They provide families with a safe, comfortable environment to play and dance together * They facilitate the parent-child bond through relationship-based dance curriculum * They help parents gain confidence in their ability to interact physically with their children Through MPACT services, partner agencies find ways to realize their goals by intergrating dance and play, as well as embodied parent education, into their programs. Who is MPACT for? * Families who are in the process of reunification, broadly defined to include: separations due to court mandates, substance abuse, domestic violence, immigration, homelessness, or other situations. * Agencies seeking to augment their services with relationship/play orientated activities for families to engage in together. Agencies can access MPACT for referrals, program design, professional development (PD), or collaboration.
