First 5 First Steps provides countywide home visitation services to specific, high-risk expectant families that are teens, military, refugees or immigrants, or low-income, using a trauma-informed, evidence-based model. First Steps was uniquely developed to include a countywide coordinator that systematizes existing home-based services by addressing gaps and complementing available services. The countywide coordination is operated by the American Academy of Pediatrics - California Chapter 3 (AAP-CA3) and it provides delivery of policy, training, quality assurance, technical assistance and evaluation for agencies that provide home visiting services.
