This paper describes a special project designed to evaluate services to high risk parents and their infants. Twenty‐three families were served by intensive outreach and home‐based model of intervention. Sixty‐one percent of these parents had significant mental health problems prior to referral. The paper describes the sample, outlines the approach to therapy and gives a specific case example. The data post‐treatment is summarized and results detailed.
