This brief spotlights three states’ efforts to implement IECMHC in home visiting programs: Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin. It also highlights two local projects, the Kent County Nurse-Family Partnership and Children’s Wisconsin Home Visiting Programs. Our summaries reveal several shared features among innovative efforts. For example, IECMHC typically includes a reflective supervision component that helps home visiting professionals pause and reflect on their work and its unique circumstances. Consultants generally do not meet with families, although they may observe home visits as requested to weigh in on specific situations or facilitate a warm hand-off to services. Notably, there is no go-to funding source to bring IECMHC into home visiting. Programs can leverage federal funding sources, however, to offset costs. We highlight these sources, along with several other options for programs that meet additional criteria. (author abstract)
