The Family Success Network (FSN) shows promise for child maltreatment prevention by engaging families through community partnerships and tailored support. Challenges like stigma and limited resources in rural areas impact its scalability.

Area of Science:

  • Community-based public health
  • Child maltreatment prevention strategies
  • Program implementation science

Background:

  • Child maltreatment prevention requires effective community-based programs.
  • The Family Success Network (FSN) is a voluntary program designed for high-need communities.
  • Understanding implementation factors is crucial for program success and sustainability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the first year of the Family Success Network (FSN) implementation.
  • To identify successes, challenges, and determinants of participant reach, engagement, and outcomes.
  • To inform future child maltreatment prevention efforts.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative data collected via semi-structured interviews and focus groups (July-December 2022).
  • Participants included FSN project leadership, service providers, and implementation team members.
  • Thematic analysis guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFI) was used.

Main Results:

  • FSN successfully reached high-need families through community partnerships and referrals.
  • Family coaches' lived experience and flexible, non-judgmental support enhanced engagement.
  • Key challenges included stigma, staff turnover, and rural resource limitations.

Conclusions:

  • Voluntary, relationship-based, and culturally responsive models are effective for engagement in prevention programs.
