ABOUT
Family Check-In is a 3-step program designed to help families with children ages 2-8 who have concerns and questions about their family’s overall well-being.

Clinicians and family members collaborate to assess how the family is doing, identify family strengths, and generate individualized feedback. The team will then collaborate with the family in developing an action plan to make the changes for their well-being. Clinicians will help connect the family to opportunities and services that fit their family’s needs. Family Check-In sessions are held in our Psychological Services Center (PSC) at LIU Post.
Why is Family Check-In Important?
Research has shown that early intervention with parents and children can prevent future emotional and behavioral problems. Family Check-In is a low-cost program that can provide parents with knowledge and skills to build upon their strengths and support changes that will help them reach their goals.
