YW's Nurse-Family Partnership - Paula

NFP is a relationship-based, free maternal and childhood health program that focuses on low-income, first-time mothers a vulnerable population segment that often has limited access to good parenting role models. Young mothers-to-be voluntarily enroll as early as possible, with nurse-home visits beginning ideally by the 16th week of pregnancy. Mothers and their highly educated nurse-home visitors make a two-and-one-half year commitment to each other, with 64 planned home visits between pregnancy and the childs second birthday. The NFP program helps break the cycle of poverty empowered, confident mothers become knowledgeable parents who are able to prepare their children for successful futures. By developing strong family foundations, the NFP program establishes a better, safer, and stronger community for generations to come.
