From program participants...
“I looked forward to every visit from [my Nurse-Family Partnership nurse]. I was really confident that she would be able to answer the questions I had come up with over the week. Plus it was just really awesome to have someone to cheer me on and encourage me through some of those tougher times." – Nurse-Family Partnership® Client
"Facilitators were awesome! Hearing other people's struggles through parenting was so important for my self esteem as a parent plus helpful to learn their tips and tricks." - The Incredible Years® Parent Program Participant
"[Child First was] able to refocus my energy, refocus my thought process and really dig down deep into what I have been through and understand my trauma so that I wouldn’t continue to repeat the cycle and the patterns.” – Child First® Client

Background Statement
For 25 years, Invest in Kids (IIK) has supported the implementation, scaling, and funding of evidence-based programs to create better futures for Colorado's kids. In the 2023-2024 fiscal year:
Nurse-Family Partnership® (NFP) served 4,101 clients and 3,427 children. The program continues to demonstrate positive impacts on healthy birth outcomes, child development, and supporting families to increase their economic self-sufficiency.
The Incredible Years® (IY) served 448 teachers and educational staff taught important social and emotional skills to 5,797 students. We know when young children have a strong foundation of social and emotional skills, they are better prepared for continued success in school, home and their communities.
Child First® (CF) served 292 children and 325 caregivers in a total of 24 counties with an expansion to 10 new counties over the 2023–2024 fiscal year. This program continues to builds strong, nurturing, caregiver-child relationships, promotes adult capacity, and connects families with needed services.
