What’s Working? A Study of the Intersection of Family, Friend, and Neighbor Networks and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation
Even though family, friend, and neighbor (FFN) child care is the most common non-parental child care arrangement, very little is known about the characteristics, quality, and evidence of successful programs offering training, education, and support to FFN providers. This study, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, endeavored to understand more about the needs of FFN providers and the families they serve. There were four sites studied where there was or is an intersection between FFN care and Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC) to begin to learn about its availability, applicability, and usefulness for FFN providers. The full report, summary of key findings, and brochure are available on the web page linked below.
