Description

Families settling in the United States can experience barriers as they work to navigate a new country with different systems and rules, and these obstacles can impact the health and education of the entire family. The program works to eliminate these barriers using the Parents as Teachers home visiting curriculum. This evidence-based curriculum focuses on families with children who are prenatal up to 5 years of age to promote parent-child interaction, child development, and family well-being in a home-visiting model. A culturally specific and multilingual team serves Latinx, Somali, and some additional East African communities.
