Abstract: Home visiting may be particularly beneficial for families involved with the child welfare system. These families are often dealing with an array of interrelated challenges such as poverty, mental health problems, substance abuse, domestic violence, and housing instability, that may adversely affect parents' ability to address their children's needs. Despite the many ways families involved with the child welfare system could potentially benefit from home visiting services, home visiting has traditionally been viewed as a primary prevention for families at risk for child maltreatment, not for families in which child maltreatment has already occurred. The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) has the potential to significantly increase the number of families being referred to evidence-based home visiting programs by child welfare systems. This brief explores the experiences of child welfare case workers and home visitors who are integral to implementing the home visiting component of Illinois' Family First plan. It is based on data collected as part of a collaborative Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) process. [The Erikson Institute DCFS Early Childhood Project and the Illinois Department of Human Services Early Childhood Division partnered with the Chapin Hall team for this project. This project was funded by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services.]
