Beyond Data Entry: Mastering the Family Services Section of the PIR

Wednesday, May 27, 2026 @ 2-4pm

If you’ve ever opened the PIR and thought, “Wait… where is that data supposed to come from?” — this session is for you.

Family Advocates are at the center of some of the most complex sections of the PIR. From employment shifts to housing stability to father engagement, your documentation drives what gets reported.

In this hands-on webinar, we will break down the family-related questions in Section C of the 2025–2026 PIR and translate them into clear, actionable steps.

We’ll cover:

What counts (and what doesn’t) as a “service received”
How to report families vs. children correctly
How to track enrollment vs. end-of-year changes
The difference between referrals and services actually received
Documentation strategies that protect you during monitoring

This is not a compliance lecture.

This is preparation with a strategy.

You’ll leave knowing:

Exactly what data you should already be tracking
What to audit before year-end
How to position your family work as measurable impact

Customizing Your Family Service Assessment

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 @ 2-4pm

Your Family Services Assessment should do more than “check a box.”

It should drive services, identify trends, support PFCE goals, and make your program’s family partnership process more intentional and effective.

In this interactive webinar designed for Family Support Managers, Directors, Family Service Workers (FSW), and Home-Based Visitors (HBV), we will break down how to create or refine a Family Services Assessment that truly works for your program.

Together, we will explore:

HSPPS requirements related to family assessment practices
How PFCE outcomes should shape your assessment design
Ways to customize assessments to reflect your community and program goals
Why a 5-point scale creates stronger, more measurable data
Recommended timelines for completing assessments throughout the year
How your assessment can become a central tool for completing other family services requirements and tracking progress over time

Participants will also have the opportunity to submit their current Family Services Assessment for review and feedback.

This session is not about adding more paperwork.

It is about building a smarter tool that helps your team work more strategically, document more effectively, and better support families.
