This study used a relative risk (RR) regression method to explore the extent to which children of caregivers in the Brevard C.A.R.E.S. (Coordination, Advocacy, Resources, Education and Support) wraparound intervention experienced a reduction of maltreatment 6 months post completion. Brevard C.A.R.E.S. is a wraparound intervention designed to reduce and prevent child maltreatment in identified at-risk families of children 0-17 years old. The study of 308 children included 131 whose caregivers completed the intervention and a comparison group of 177 similarly situated children. The study found that children whose caregivers completed the intervention experienced less verified maltreatment than children in the comparison group. These findings have implications to enhance systems of care in the community that seek family interventions to support child maltreatment prevention. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE • This intervention actively engages a family in identifying and owning its strengths, natural supports, and vision of family success, while facilitating a Family Conferencing Team to move toward that vision. Note. This chart was developed by the staff of Brevard C.A.R.E.S. after receiving training in the National Wraparound Initiative's guiding principles (Bruns et al., 2008).
