Children's Health Involving Parents (CHIP) of Greater Richmond meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

CHIP provides primary and secondary prevention services to pregnant women and families with children up to the age of 6 years. CHIP also provides asthma case management for children up to the age of 18 years. These services are provided in the family's home through a team approach. A team consists of an Outreach Worker, Registered Nurse, and Mental Health Clinician. Additionally, CHIP provides transportation support. The CHIP team and the family develop a Family Service Plan, which serves as a guide and a tool for measuring the family's progress in achieving identified goals. The long-term goals for all families are family self-sufficiency and school readiness for the children. The Outreach Worker provides education on parenting and life skills, linkage to community resources, and advocacy for needed resources. Outreach Workers are certified Parent Educators for the Parents as Teachers Born to Learn Curriculum. The Registered Nurse, a key component of the CHIP model, provides health and developmental assessments, health education, chronic disease management education, dental hygiene education and dental varnishing, and coordinates the family's health care with community providers. CHIP uses the Ages and Stages Questionnaire as the screening tool to track a child’s development. The Mental Health Clinician provides a social-emotional assessment of the family and a mental health assessment of the primary caregiver. If this assessment indicates a need for mental health treatment, the Mental Health Clinician can provide this service in the parent's home or refer the family to a community provider when necessary.
