Family screening and observation tools were designed to assist family advocates in carrying out an early, quick assessment of high-risk circumstances during a home visit. Family service staff and supervisors will find these tools particularly useful when working with families enrolled in programs that have a home visiting component. Because agencies often have a limited time to work with families, these tools provide front-line family workers with concrete guides to engaging families in conversation about high-risk family dynamics and home environments.
