Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), a maternal and early childhood health program, fosters long-term success for first-time moms, their babies and society. NFP’s program introduces vulnerable first-time parents to caring maternal and child health nurses. This program allows nurses to deliver the support first-time moms need to have a healthy pregnancy, become knowledgeable and responsible parents, and provide their babies with the best possible start in life. The relationship between mother and nurse provides the foundation for strong families.
