Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) builds strong families and also “helps us to build a strong community for the future.” says Ann Stehn, director of the Kandiyohi County Minnesota Health and Human Services Department. Ann oversees the NFP program in Kandiyohi County Minnesota and they just held their first graduation!
Alexis, a Nurse-Family Partnership mom and her daughter Carmen are part of the first group of families to graduate from this Minnesota NFP program and she and her nurse, Lois share a little bit of their story in Minnesota (see link to article below.)
“I didn’t know what I was doing. I was five months pregnant and I didn’t know what to do,” Alexis said. “I was scared.”
Alexis is not alone, NFP is serving more than 31,000 families, like Alexis and Carmen, throughout the United States and growing. Your support helps to make these stories happen and on behalf of Nurse-Family Partnership and our families we thank you for helping bring this evidence-based intervention to so many.
