Phase 1 of Family Check-Up consists of three initial one-hour sessions (interview, assessment, and feedback), which are scheduled in close proximity to one another. In Phase 2, parents may choose to engage in follow-up services, which may include Everyday Parenting. As a health promotion and prevention strategy, Phase 2 of Family Check-Up can be limited to 1 to 3 Everyday Parenting sessions. As a treatment approach, Phase 2 can range from 3 to 15 Everyday Parenting sessions. Families typically participate in Everyday Parenting for an average of 3 to 6 sessions.
When used as a health maintenance model, Family Check-Up recommends annual check-ups (Phase 1, and Phase 2 as needed) through age 17.
