- New - The Family Check-Up
- The Family Check-Up is a brief, strengths-based intervention for families with children ages 2 through 17. The intervention aims to promote positive family management and addresses child and adolescent adjustment problems. The Family Check-Up® has two phases: 1.) An initial assessment and feedback and 2.) Parent management training.
- Phase one includes three main components: (1) an initial interview that involves rapport building and motivational interviewing to explore parental strengths and challenges related to parenting and the family context; (2) an ecological family assessment that includes parent and child questionnaires, a teacher questionnaire for children that are in school, and a videotaped observation of family interactions; and (3) tailored feedback that involves reviewing assessment results and discussing follow-up service options for the family. Follow up services will include Everyday Parenting and may include clinical or other support services in the community.
- Phase two is parent management training. North Dakota will require Everyday Parenting as its designated parent management training. Everyday Parenting is a skills-based curriculum designed to support development of positive parenting skills. The curriculum is modular, and sessions can be tailored to the family's specific needs and readiness based on the FCU assessment.
- The Family Check-Up can be delivered in a variety of settings, including in the home, schools, community mental health settings, health centers, hospitals, primary care, and Native American tribal communities.
