First Steps For Baby
Additional
Maternal/Child Wellness Programs:
First Steps Toward Parenting &
First Steps for Parents
This
program is initiated after the birth or adoption of a baby.
It is an educational forum that can assist new parents during
this exciting yet stressful time.
Key
elements of the program include:
- A
nurse will maintain contact with the new family to
assess their adaptation and understanding of their parenting
role and act as a support and resource to the family.
-
Scheduled
telephone calls are made to the new parents at certain
milestones in the child’s development to assess the child’s
skill level and answer any questions or concerns.
Parents may call
the nurse as needed, for additional assistance.
-
Education
and literature is provided based on individual needs.
Parents will receive a copy of the book: Your Baby's First
Year, Week by Week.
-
Interventions
are individualized to meet the needs of new parents or
experienced parents

As with
all wellness programs, this
proactive, preventative approach will result in cost
savings of current and future health care dollars by ensuring a healthier
start in life.
