Created at the UO’s Northwest Prevention Science Institute, the Family Check-Up is a mental health behavioral intervention model designed to help parents identify their strengths and improve their relationship with their children.
By many measures, it’s been a tough year to be in business. But at the University of Oregon, researchers are continuing to transform their discoveries into commercial success.
One new startup this year emerged from a UO College of Education researcher’s longstanding program of research in family-centered interventions. Twenty-five years ago, Beth Stormshak started developing a new approach to working with parents: a personalized and evidence-based program built on assessing parents’ strengths.

The statistics for domestic violence in the United States are staggering. Each year, more than 10 million people in this country experience domestic violence. One in four women and one in 10 men experience some form of sexual assault, stalking, or physical violence from an intimate partner. Unfortunately, things seem to be getting worse, with a 42 percent increase between 2016 and 2018 alone.
“It is our assumption that we already know about domestic violence. That is, in fact, why we need awareness,” says Dr. Chronister. “Because if you look at the statistics of what communities understand that domestic violence is, how much they utilize services, and how much they’re aware of their rights under certain federal and state policies, the awareness is actually quite minimal and confused.”
Thanks to UO donors, each student in the program earned a $5,000 stipend for their summer internship. There were 30 students at 28 internship sites this summer, working up to 40 hours per week over 11 weeks.

Following on from World Mental Health Day on 10 October, this first of two blog posts describes the scale of the challenge in understanding what contributes to mental health and the need for policy to help parents to help their children.
