In Los Angeles County, California, partners in the Transforming Pediatrics for Early Childhood (TPEC) program are making it easier for families to access early childhood services by integrating Family Partners directly into pediatric care teams. Through the Early Needs Response for Infant and Child Health (ENRICH) program, Family Partners work alongside pediatricians, nurses, and clinic staff to support developmental screening, guide families through referrals, and help connect children with early intervention and community-based services.
In this video, ENRICH team members share how integrating Family Partners into pediatric care is strengthening connections between families, providers, and community services. They also highlight efforts to support the long-term sustainability of this approach by aligning training with California’s community health worker requirements and exploring potential reimbursement opportunities.
Together, these strategies demonstrate how family experience and cross-sector collaboration can help create more connected, supportive systems of care for young children and their families.
