This study will examine the efficacy of Enhanced First Connections, which is a short-term perinatal home visiting program that includes infant and early childhood mental health consultation.

Hypothesized outcomes of Enhanced First Connections include the prevention of child maltreatment (child abuse and neglect), prevention of child exposure to adult intimate partner violence, increases in family engagement in longer-term evidence based home visiting programs, increases in family engagement in specialized support services to address maternal adversity and trauma, reductions in maternal risk factors, and the promotion of positive parenting and the parent-child relationship.
