What's one way your home visiting program helps families?
Yesenia hernandez: One way that our home visiting program supports our families is by providing them the knowledge and um, gaining that confidence as a parent, Many of our families come into our services without much child development of knowledge. So once they start learning and building on those skills, they're able to build on their confidence as a parent.
Why should families sign up for Welcome Baby during pregnancy?
Yesenia hernandez: Families should apply for welcome baby during pregnancy in order to obtain that support and guidance um that they might not have during their pregnancy, so being able to have someone to connect with and provide them with resources and information in regards to their pregnancy, um goes a long way.
