Pregnancy and Parenting

Providing quality resources for our community is an important part of public health, for example:

Nurse Family Partnership: The Nurse Family Partnership Program is designed to teach young, first-time mothers how to take care of themselves during pregnancy and also how to care for their new babies.

Pierce County Breastfeeding Alliance: The Pierce County Breastfeeding Alliance is a networking group, committed to seeking out and sharing information among health professionals and community members that have contact with families in their childbearing years.

Support for Parents: Is critical to the health of families and to prevent child abuse and neglect. Family Support Centers provide in-home visits to help parents meet the needs of their family.
