The Family Check-Up (FCU) model is the cornerstone of a more general intervention framework referred to as an Ecological Approach to Family Intervention and Treatment (EcoFIT). FCU is designed to address a range of needs of families from prevention to treatment for children ranging in age from 2 to 17 years old. In contrast to traditional clinical models, FCU utilizes a health maintenance model involving regular periodic contact between client and provider to prevent problems proactively.
