HANDS – Health Access Nurturing Development Services
HANDS is a voluntary home visiting service for new and expectant parents. Families begin by scheduling a home visit with a HANDS Parent Visitor who will discuss any questions or concerns about pregnancy or a baby’s first years. Based on this discussion, all families will receive information and learn about resources available in the community for new parents. Some families will receive further support through weekly home visitation with a HANDS Home Visitor. That’s right, information brought right to your home!
WHY participate in HANDS?
- Parents are the most important people in a baby’s life.
- Parents are the first and most important teachers a child will ever have.
- Parenting is a very demanding job, and all parents have worries, questions, and stress.
