What We Do

We provide free services to pregnant women and parents of young children in our County. Intensive home visits are made on a weekly basis by specially-trained Family Support Workers.

  • We teach pregnant women about nutritious eating and the importance of consistent prenatal care in order to ensure healthy birth outcomes.
  • We explain and model positive parenting skills in order to help parents bond with their infants and toddlers and discipline them in loving and effective ways.
  • We assess the child regularly as s/he grows to ensure proper physical, intellectual, language, social and emotional development; refer parents to early intervention services as needed.
  • We connect parents to vital community services, such as health providers, playgroups, child care and preschools, as well as any necessary emergency services, such as food banks and shelters.
