Family Support Services
Parent-Child Center Services
Through home visiting and our center-based programs our multi-disciplinary team provides pregnant women and families with young children extra support when stressors are too great. Staff share the goal of helping each parent be nurturing and responsive to their child’s needs and believe in building on the families strengths to help them meet their family’s goals.
Staff for these programs includes Nurses, Social Workers, Early Childhood Educators, and staff with child development training. VNA pediatric therapies staff members also provide services as needed.
Family Support Services — Home Visiting
Our multi-disciplinary team provides parenting support and education to families struggling with multiple stressors that temporarily hinder their capacity to nurture their children. Many families request services for several years in order to keep the children safe, healthy and thriving. Our staff develops a plan with each family and works collaboratively with other State and community agencies to provide the necessary supports, advocacy, education, and health care to maintain the family’s stability and well-being. Our model is based on the David Olds Nurse Family Partnership, and on the works of Stanley Greenspan, and T. Berry Brazelton.
