N/A

The CDPH’s Maternal, Infant, Child and Adolescent Health Bureau serves thousands of infants, children, adolescents, pregnant people, and parents each year through a variety of programming supported, in part, by Title V funding. During FY21, CDPH initiated planning efforts to address collaborative needs with organizations to provide male and partner involvement programs despite a hardship created by administration turnover. This collaboration was a new action item for FY21 and CDPH worked on the assessment of areas for integration into existing CDPH efforts. The Family Connects Program was identified as a potential existing program to integrate male and partner involvement. Family Connects has served 1,602 families since launching in March of 2020. The services of Family Connects focus on mom and newborn care through both in-home and office screenings and teachings. CDPH developed new activities and identified potential intersections of care for male and partner involvement strategies, such as health care connections for male/partner and health co-parenting skills.
