What We Do
Our Vision
Family Connects International envisions a world where all children and their families have access to a continuum of community-based care to support their health and success.
Our Mission
Our Values
Equity
We believe that every family must have fair and just opportunities to achieve optimal health and well-being, and we actively work to establish systems that support this ideal.
Collaboration
Collaboration is the only way to achieve systems transformation. No single organization can do this work.
Excellence
Simply put, we bring the highest quality to everything we do.
Integrity
We are data-driven, transparent, trustworthy, and accountable. We are here to empower families and communities to care for their children.
How We Work
Family Connects International partners with the Center for Child & Family Health to disseminate the Family Connects model. We work with local and state governments, health-care systems, and nonprofits to plan and implement the model. We provide full support for successful implementation, including building community alignment, training nurses, providing screening and assessment tools and a robust data system.
Family Connects International also conducts rigorous research and evaluation of the model, as well as innovative research on early childhood well-being and parent-child relationships. In addition, we engage with policymakers to increase their understanding of the positive impacts of Family Connects, and we collaborate with agencies working in the early childhood field.
Our aim is to improve child and family health and well-being at the population level.
