Women in Need Growing Stronger (WINGS)

Provides parent education and support services to pregnant and newly parenting women and their children who may be at-risk for child abuse and neglect.  Risk factors for the target population include poverty; single parenthood without family or community child care support; lack of housing; lack of prenatal care; and lack of effective, safe parenting strategies.  Through case management, counseling, parent education, and resource assistance, case managers assist clients in developing plans to reduce the risk factors for child abuse and neglect.
