The NFP program encourages fathers, family members and even friends to be involved in the visits and learn how they can best support you.

The mother is the primary focus of each NFP nurse because she holds the responsibility of being the child's caregiver. Your nurse will tailor services to your individualized needs.

Program Services
Through the Nurse-Family Partnership, your nurse will help you:

• Have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
• Become a better parent.
• Build a strong network of support for you and your baby.
• Make your home a safe place for your baby to live and play.
• Get referrals for healthcare, child care, job training and other support services available in your community.
• Continue your education and develop job skills.
• Set goals for your family's future and find ways to help you reach them.

Enrollment
Invest time now to secure a better future for your child. Women who are pregnant with their first child and meet income requirements can enroll in the program. You can join as early in your pregnancy as you like, but you must enroll by the 25th week of pregnancy.
