NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP

Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is a voluntary evidence-based home visiting program that connects specially trained nurses to visit first-time mothers-to-be, starting early in the pregnancy and continuing through the child’s second birthday. Expectant moms benefit by getting free care and support needed for a healthy pregnancy, a healthy baby, and to be a great mom! ESCEO offers the NFP program in both Mahoning and Portage Counties to 100 first time pregnant mothers.

Your nurse will support you to:

  • Have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!
  • Become the best mom you can be.
  • Learn and practice things that make you more confident as a mom, like breastfeeding, nutrition, child development, safe-sleep techniques and much more.
  • Get referrals for healthcare, childcare, job training, and other support services available in your community.
  • Continue your education, develop job skills or follow your dreams for the future.

Parent Testimonials

I have really enjoyed the help and seeing the progress my kids have made. It works well with my schedule and I can work on the activities during our free time. I have learned a lot and it's been a great support system to have.

Our Family Support Specialist has been absolutely amazing. We are so fortunate to have such a supportive person to help us through our journey as first time parents. She is very thorough with her visits and shares such great information to help our child thrive. She has also been supportive to myself as a first time mother. She always lights up when she sees our son.
