Nurse Family Partnership (NFP)
Helping First-Time Parents Succeed
What is Nurse-Family Partnership?
Nurse Family Partnership is a program which is open to first time, single mothers 19 years of age and under. If you enroll,
a specially trained Public Health nurse will visit you in your home throughout pregnancy and will continue to visit until
your baby is 2 years old.
How much does the program costs?
This program is free to all eligible women!
How often will my Public Health nurse visit?
Your nurse will visit about every two weeks, during your pregnancy and up until your baby is 2 years old.
My Public Health nurse will help me:
Have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Become a better parent
Build a strong network of support for me and my baby.
Make my home a safe place for my baby to live and play.
Get referrals for healthcare, childcare, job training and other support services available in Snohomish County.
Find ways to continue my education and develop job skills.
Set goals for my family's future and find ways to help me reach them.
Can my baby's father participate, too?
Nurse-Family Partnership encourages fathers, family members and even friends to be involved in the visits and learn how they can best support you.
You and your nurse decide who gets involved.
Because you are the one who carries the baby and you are the first person to take care of your baby, you are the one who is actually
enrolled in the program, you are the main focus of the Public Health nurse.
Who can enroll in the program?
Any woman who is:
Pregnant with first child, single mothers 19 years of age and under.
Meets income requirements.
You can join as early in your pregnancy as you like, but you must join before the 24th week of pregnancy.
