Features of the FCU: 1) Assessment-driven: a multi-method, multi-informant assessment in which the consultant reviews strengths and difficulties across domains of contextual risk, family functioning and child health. A tailored intervention plan is then created based on results 2) Motivational interviewing: Caregivers engage in self-assessment about motivation and barriers to addressing factors that may perpetuate risk. The consultant and caregiver work to establish a menu of services 3) The family may be offered up to 6 sessions of the "Everyday Parenting" curriculum. The FCU has demonstrated effectiveness and cultural sensitivity across multiple US settings.
