Nurse-Family Partnership

Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is an evidenced-based nurse home visitation program that improves the health, well-being and self-sufficiency of low-income, first-time parents and their children.

The mother, father and child are visited in their home regularly by a public health nurse over a period of 2 years. The public health nurse works with the family to:

Have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby
Improve your child’s health and development
Improve your parenting skills
Build a strong network of support for your family
Make your home a safe place for your baby to live and play
Get referrals for healthcare, childcare, job training and other support services in the community
Improve the economic self-sufficiency of your family by finding ways to continue your education and/or develop job skills
Set goals for yourself and your family’s future and find ways to help you reach them
