The Family Check-Up® is an evidence-based approach to addressing the mental health and behavior of children aged 2-17.
The model is an adaptive, collaborative, strength-based framework that promotes positive functioning and family wellbeing while preventing problem behaviors and mental health concerns.
The purpose of this project is to develop and pilot test the Family Check-Up Threat Assessment model, a family-centered ecological approach to assessment of and intervention for students who make school violence threats.
This project promotes integrated family-school-community mental health support for children in rural Wisconsin communities. In this project, we (1) engage in formative planning with community partners to enhance readiness; (2) provide training to education and human service professionals, including Extension educators, school staff, and community members; (3) provide supervision of those professionals, titrating the level of support over time to promote independence; (4) help community partners evaluate the effectiveness of mental health services; and (5) conduct an analysis of effectiveness inclusive of factors related to successful implementation and sustainment, to enhance the success of similar efforts in the future.
The purpose of this project is to examine the long-term efficacy of the Kindergarten Family Check-Up (FCU), a school-based, family-centered intervention intended to prevent student social and behavioral problems.
