Annotation: This report, published by the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) in July 2016, presents findings from a nationwide survey on the employment of family members within Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) programs. The survey, conducted between late 2014 and early 2015, involved responses from 40 MCH and 44 CYSHCN programs across 59 states and territories. Insights are provided on employment mechanisms (82% of CYSHCN programs and 55% of MCH programs employ family members as staff, often through contracts with other agencies), roles and compensations (family members are employed in both full-time and part-time positions), and support mechanisms (rograms provide professional development opportunities, including training and leadership activities, as well as support for work-life balance through flexible schedules and telework options). The report emphasizes the importance of these employment practices in fostering meaningful family engagement in program planning and improvement activities.
