Impact Reports

The Impact Reports highlight information and outcomes gathered through administration of the Family Support Program Outcome Survey to parents and primary caregivers attending family support programs and Family Resource Centers across New Hampshire. The impact reports are one piece of NHCT’s ongoing efforts to provide data and information regarding the positive impacts that family support programs have on the lives of children and families.
