FUNDING-Limited Submission – HRSA – Rural Health Integration Models for Parents and Children to Thrive (IMPACT)  (HRSA-18-105); June 5, 2018

 

Purpose: The purpose of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Rural Health Integration Models for Parents and Children to Thrive (IMPACT) program is to support a two-generational approach that focuses on creating opportunities for and addressing needs of both vulnerable children and their parents together. It prioritizes and facilitates coordination of programs and services needed to address the additive effects of poverty and geographic isolation on early childhood health and development. The overarching goal of the Rural Health IMPACT program is to implement evidence-based two-generational strategies that promote health and well-being of children (prenatally to age 3) and create economic opportunities for their families. This includes:

1) ensuring rural children and their families have access to critical health, development, education, and family support services that are aligned and coordinated;

2) improving early identification of and intervention for high-risk families who have experienced or are at-risk for adverse childhood experiences, maternal depression and other mental health issues, substance use disorders including opioid use and related neonatal abstinence syndrome, as well as other factors that lead to poor health and social outcomes for rural families; and

3) developing, implementing, and expanding two-generational strategies that effectively link children and their families to services to encourage: a) children’s healthy development; and b) help families overcome barriers to achieving economic security and self-sufficiency.
