Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
Supporting Family Involvement (SFI) has been reviewed by the CEBC in the area of Motivation and Engagement. SFI is a preventive intervention designed to enhance fathers’ positive involvement with their children. The curriculum is based on an empirically-validated family risk model. This model predicts that children’s development is predicted by risks and buffers in five interconnected domains:
The curriculum highlights the potential contributions fathers make to the family. The program is aimed at strengthening fathers’ involvement in the family, promoting healthy child development, and preventing key factors implicated in child abuse. Since SFI is highly rated on the Scientific Rating Scale, information on available pre-implementation assessments, implementation tools, and fidelity measures was requested from the program representative. Please see the program's separate Implementation Information page for details.
