The purpose of the FELSC program is to enhance engagement of families of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and individuals with lived experience, within the systems that serve them. Family engagement is defined as patients, families, their representatives, and health professionals working in active partnership at various levels across the health care system to improve health and health care.
The FELSC program will achieve this through two projects:
- Project 1: providing national leadership on family engagement to support maternal and child health programs that serve CYSHCN.
- Project 2: providing technical assistance to the HRSA-funded Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs).
Objectives

- By May 31, 2024, set a baseline, and then increase by 30 percent annually the number of TA, education, and partnership building recipients/participants that report implementing best practices for increasing family engagement as identified through this project.
- By May 31, 2028, increase by 25 percent the number of youth/family members trained through this project that report participating in leadership activities in MCH systems of care.
- Project 2: Technical Assistance for F2F HIC Programs
