Project Description:
The Family Engagement in Systems Tools (FESAT) supports child- and family-serving organizations to plan, assess, and improve family engagement. The 20-item self-assessment tool that organizational staff and families use together assess family engagement in policies, programs, and other systems-level initiatives. An Excel worksheet calculates FESAT scores and automatically populates a bar graph to help organizations understand how well they are providing the supports and information that both families and staff need to partner, participate in, and contribute to systems-level initiatives. FESAT was offered to staff of the IDFC and CDC clinics by our family advocate staff.
