MAEC, a non-profit that focuses on equity issues impacting children's education, partnered with the state of Maryland to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment of Maryland's Maternal and Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) services. The purpose of the needs assessment was to understand critical issues affecting expecting families and those with young children in the state, particularly focusing on diverse stakeholders facing adversity. This poster summarizes key findings from the needs assessments, especially as they relate to improving services for all families in the state. It also highlights how MAEC's to approach to gathering data which focused on engaging stakeholders who traditionally might not have participated in a needs assessment including families facing adversity, non-English speaking constituents, and the Native American populations in the state was affected by COVID-19.
