Effective Approaches Overcome Barriers to Care

• With its focus on parent-child relationship-based approaches, the Helping Families Raise Healthy Children initiative improved cross-system care for families at risk for parental depression and early childhood developmental delays.
• Providers and agencies from the early intervention and behavioral health systems collaborated to achieve high rates of screening, referral, and engagement in services by using extensive outreach as well as in-home screening and mobile care.
• Through cross-system training and support, the initiative helped build system capacity for sustaining these improvements and improved outcomes for parents and children.

Cross-System Support Improves Understanding of Family Needs

• Caregivers in both the early development and behavioral health systems gained a greater understanding of the related issues faced by families at risk for parental depression and early childhood developmental delays.
