Prevent Child Abuse North Dakota (PCAND) received a $1.29M project grant award dated September 30, 2025, from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau under the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program (CFDA 93.870). The award supports the North Dakota MIECHV program, which delivers voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services to at-risk families in high-needs communities across North Dakota through September 29, 2027. The program addresses service access barriers in rural and underserved areas by connecting eligible families—particularly pregnant women and parents with young children up to kindergarten entry—with trained home visitors who provide mental health screenings, parenting education, child development guidance, and resource referrals.

PCAND implements the ND MIECHV program in collaboration with local implementing agencies and statewide partners to strengthen tribal and state maternal and child health systems. The home visitors work to improve health outcomes, prevent child abuse and neglect, promote early childhood development and school readiness, and enhance family economic self-sufficiency. Program implementation leverages evidence-based home visiting models, with services targeting families experiencing risk factors for poor health or social outcomes in designated at-risk communities throughout the state.
