Family Connects Targeted Outcomes

The model aims to support families’ efforts to enhance maternal and child health and well-being. Specific targeted outcomes include (1) increasing families’ connections to community resources; (2) reducing child maltreatment investigations and substantiations; (3) reducing mothers’ and infants’ use of emergency medical care; (4) improving the quality and safety of the home environment; (5) increasing positive parenting behaviors; (6) reducing parental anxiety and depression; and (7) promoting use of high quality child care when non-parental care is desired.
