Free Help – At Your Home, – Every Day – For The First 3 Weeks After Childbirth

The Healthy Families America Project operates 300 programs in 40 states. It helps new mothers cope with the pressures of being a new parent by offering volunteer home visitors who come to your home for the first three weeks after birth. They are trained to show you how to deal with the physical, emotional and financial strains of a new baby. First time mothers and older mothers are among those considered for the program. To see if there is a program in your area and if you qualify, contact National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse, 200 S.
