Expectant Parent Program
Offers home visits to young pregnant women in crisis. Visits are provided by licensed clinical social workers who work with mothers pre, peri, and post natal up to one year following birth through counseling, parenting education, and case management services. Mothers are supported throughout pregnancy to work toward the child being born into a safe, nurturing home environment to a parent who is prepared and knowledgeable of the child’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs. The project goal is to reduce the threat of abuse and neglect, infant mortality, and incidence of low birth weight delivery.
