The Minnesota State Legislature appropriated funds to implement children’s mental health screening programs for children in families served by the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) at two pilot sites. The aim of this appropriation was to identify and address the mental health needs of children in MFIP families and modify MFIP Employment Plans to include children’s mental health activities. Screening children and referring the children to services if indicated was hypothesized to improve the parent’s getting or keeping a job.
