Wisconsin Baby FAST Initiative

Designed for at-risk babies and their parents, Baby FAST builds on research demonstrating that child maltreatment prevention is critically important for babies, ages 0 to 3. Baby FAST works with existing prevention programs to target young parents whose age, education, and other circumstances place them at risk for child maltreatment. Weekly multiple family group meetings create a safe, structured environment in which young mothers and their families can build supportive relationships.
