Family Check-Up (FCU)
A family-centered intervention that promotes positive family management and addresses child and adolescent adjustment problems. The intervention does this through reductions in coercive and negative parenting and increases in positive parenting. It has two phases: 1) An initial assessment and feedback; 2) Parent management training (Everyday Parenting) which focuses on positive behavior support, healthy limit setting, and relationship building. The program is tailored to address the specific needs of each child and family and can be integrated into many service settings including public schools; the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program; home visiting; primary health care; and community mental health. It is appropriate for families with children from age 2 through 17 and for prevention and treatment needs. As a health promotion and prevention strategy, the program can be brief (2 to 3 sessions).
