Family Engagement Liaison
BIRTH & BEYOND The Birth & Beyond (B&B) program consists of nine Family Resource Centers (FRCs) located in nine culturally and linguistically diverse high-need communities throughout Sacramento County. The B&B FRCs are community-based collaborative infrastructures that serve as delivery hubs where families access an array of support services, resource and referrals, and other family strengthening activities. B&B FRCs provide a system-of-care to deliver child abuse and neglect prevention and early intervention services for families with children ages 0-17. B&B FRCs offer a range of services from evidence-based home visitation, group-based parenting education, crisis intervention, social and emotional support and learning activities, and other services that strengthen families and build their protective factors. The vision for B&B is that all children and families are safe, healthy, and connected to a strong community.
B&B receives funding from a variety of sources: First 5 Sacramento, Sacramento County Department of Child, Family, and Adult Services (DCFAS), Sacramento County Department of Human Assistance (DHA) CalWORKs, and AmeriCorps. First 5 Sacramento and DHA/CalWORKs provide funding to serve children prenatal through age five and their families, while funding from DCFAS allows B&B to serve children 6-17 and their families. B&B’s primary funding contracts include:
• CalWORKs Home Visiting Program (HVP)/Family Support Initiative (FSI) provides evidence-based home visitation services using the Healthy Families America (HFA) or Parents as Teachers (PAT) models to families who have an eligible CalWORKs case and children under 5 years of age. The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) allocates funds to Sacramento County DHA who partners with First 5 Sacramento to fund B&B.
• Empowered Families, funded by First 5 Sacramento, addresses four Implementation Strategies in the First 5 Strategic Plan to increase the use of effective parenting to decrease trauma and child maltreatment: 1) Social and emotional support and learning activities and groups for parents and families; 2) Group parenting education and support services; 3) Intensive home visitation services; and 4) Focused case management for parents requiring crisis support services. This service array provides a continuum of strategic support that build protective factors, and the capacity and resiliency of parents, caregivers, and families with children ages birth to 5.
• Department of Child Family and Adult Services (DCFAS) funds the same four B&B family-strengthening services and strategies as First 5 Sacramento and is specific to families with children 6 to 17 years of age.
The Child Abuse Prevention Council of Sacramento (CAPC) serves as the B&B backbone agency providing fiscal compliance, program monitoring, administrative oversight, quality assurance, training, technical assistance, evaluation, and oversight to ensure adherence to best-practice and evidence-based model fidelity for B&B FRCs. CAPC ensures standardization of B&B policy and procedures, coordinates subcommittees, monitors progress towards contract milestones, facilitates B&B’s external evaluation, coordinates the Advisory Board of Community Leaders, and administers Medi-Cal Administrative Activities. CAPC conducts program outreach and engagement through Family Engagement Liaisons (FEL) to initiate services with families and engage community partners.
