H.A.N.D.S.

Why should parents participate in H.A.N.D.S.?

Pregnancy and becoming a parent for the first time can be overwhelming experiences--which comes with worries, questions and stress.
​H.A.N.D.S. is available to answer these kinds of questions and provide parents with support in developing a parent-child relationship.

Studies have shown that families who participate in H.A.N.D.S (compared to families who do not participate) experienced: 
  • Few premature infants
  • Fewer low birth weight babies (<5 lbs, 9oz)
  • Fewer developmental delays

All families receive information and learn about community resources for new parents. Some families will receive further support through home visitation. Right in their home, these families will engage in fun activities to learn more about the following:
  • Having a healthy pregnancy 
  • Caring for their baby
  • How to bond with their child
  • How to provide their child with enriching learning experiences
  • Creating a safe and healthy home
  • Community resources
  • Child development 

Who can participate? 

​First time, new and expectant moms and or dads can participate. Participation can begin during pregnancy or anytime before a child is 3 months old.
