Children don’t come with an instructional guide. So it’s only normal that new mothers face challenges and doubt. In times like these, someone is here to help you. Nurse-Family Partnership is a community healthcare program that will connect you with a nurse home visitor. (For prenatal first-time mothers)
Your children have so much potential. As a parent, you have a unique opportunity to be their first teacher. That’s because most brain development occurs in the first few years of life, and you can make a difference. Parents As Teachers will show you how. (For children younger than 5 years)

Translation services enable us to work with a variety of women, including many refugees. (Pregnant Women or mothers with children up to 24 months old.)
MECSH Nurse Home Visiting is a free, voluntary program that provides you, your partner and other involved caregivers with a nurse who is dedicated to you and your family’s questions and needs.

The nurse addresses questions and offers guidance about your infant’s health, developmental play, and care needs. The nurse supports your parenting journey despite life’s challenges, and will help you get connected to other resources and networks in your community. It’s flexible.
