Family Check-Up

 

Family Check-Up was designed to reduce child behavior problems, reduce childhood depression, reduce adolescent substance use, improve school adjustment and self-regulation, and increase positive parenting.

 

  • The Family Check-Up has 3 main components:

    1. ​ An initial interview to explore parental strengths and challenges related to parenting and the family context;

    2. A family assessment that includes parent and child questionnaires and a videotaped observation of family interactions;

    3. Tailored feedback that involves reviewing assessment results and discussing follow-up service options for the family.

      • Follow-up services may include the Everyday Parenting program, which is a parenting management program that we provide here at TKTC.

Family Check-Up has been found to be one of the most cost-effective, "well supported" evidence-based practice across the widest age group of 2-17 and is backed by almost 30 years of research.

 

Family Check-Up is an empirically supported intervention with the goal of promoting healthy child development.

​

Family Check-Up focuses on the specific needs and strengths of each family. It provides parents with the tools that they need to manage their children’s behaviors effectively and to build a strong and positive relationship with their children.

 

Everyday Parenting

 

Everyday Parenting builds on the Family Check-Up and is designed as a companion program for the Family Check-Up. When used together, parents who wish to improve their parenting and family management skills can work with their Family Check-Up provider to address those goals after completing the Family Check-Up.

 

The Everyday Parenting program is a research-based family management training program that addresses three main skill areas:

  1. Supporting positive behavior

  2. Setting healthy limits

  3. And building family relationships
