The Nurse-Family Partnership is a home-based prenatal program that follows mothers and children for two years after the child's birth.

Families receive prenatal support and education, postpartum and newborn physical exams, parenting and child development education, and referrals to community services that can address the health and social needs of the family.

Similar programs around the country have existed for over two decades, and have demonstrated that programs like this improve family life and reduce child abuse. They reduce mothers' problems with drugs and alcohol, as well as reducing children's alcohol, drug, cigarette and crime statistics once they grow to be teens.
