An important way for improving Indigenous early childhood health is to make sure that family support programs that have been shown to work are widely available. Yet little research attention has been given to how this can be done. The aim of this project is to define and develop funding models and mechanisms that can support Family Wellbeing (FWB) empowerment program integration and implementation within early childhood family support programs. Additionally, the project will assess costs and benefits for Indigenous families and children as a result of sustainable place-based implementation of the FWB empowerment program targeting parents, youth, family support, child safety and child and maternal health workers.
