B&b partners with sacramento county child protective services (cps) to provide services to families who come in contact with cps and do not meet the threshold for cps involvement. Capc, as the b&b fiscal and administrative lead agency, partners with folsom cordova community partnership, la familia counseling center, mutual assistance network, river oak center for children, sacramento children's home, and wellspace health to operate the nine b&b family resource centers. Capc serves as the training lead, coordinates b&b's collaborative structure, serves as liaison to funders, and facilitates b&b evaluation. Capc has a federal grant that funds americorps members to serve as b&b home visitors and family resource aides. For 2023/24 25 b&b americorps members served 593 parents delivering parents as teachers and nurturing parenting programs through home visitation and parenting workshops. At the end of the year, 100% of home visitation families with or without prior cps involvement had no substantiated cps referrals and 54% of parents completing workshops increased their parenting knowledge by 20% after receiving 16 hours of parenting education from americorps members black infant health program: the black infant health (bih) program was established in 1989 with the goal of improving african american infant and maternal health in California and decreasing black health differences for women and infants. To achieve these goals bih is a client-centered, strength-based group intervention program with complementary case management that embraces the life-course perspective and promotes skill building, stress reduction, and life goal setting by offering empowerment-focused services to improve the health and social conditions for african american women and their families. Bih delivers services in a culturally relevant manner that respects participants' beliefs and cultural values while promoting overall health and wellness. Bih utilizes the family strengthening model, acknowledging that participants have the strength and resilience to improve their health for themselves and their families. Through case management, participants receive guidance and referrals on a range of topics, including health insurance application assistance and family planning counseling. Group sessions provide an opportunity for participants to interact with other mothers and women who are pregnant in a culturally sensitive setting that respects participant values and beliefs. For 2023/24 capc served a total 195 bih moms exceeding the capc target of 130 moms by 50%. Capc served 68% of the county's 286 bih moms. Child death review team: for the past 35 years, the child abuse prevention council of sacramento has coordinated the work of the sacramento county child death review team (cdrt), a 21-member multidisciplinary team, including but not limited to, law enforcement, coroner, hospital systems, child welfare, and other social services representatives who review the death of every child in sacramento county, birth through 17 years of age, to identify causes and risk factors related to child deaths. The cdrt publishes and presents to the sacramento county board of supervisors annual and periodic multi-year reports outlining data, trends, and recommendations for preventing future child injuries and deaths. Capc also coordinates the fetal infant mortality review team (fimr) for the sacramento county department of public health. Prior cdrt recommendations have resulted in the development of home visitation programs, a shift in county policy away from family maintenance to child safety, shaken baby syndrome prevention, infant safe sleep education, and the reduction of african american child deaths init
