Mission: The mission of families first is to provide in-home psychiatric evaluations, treatment referrals, social support, and parenting education to women who are experiencing, or who are at risk for, depression. Pregnant women and those in the postpartum year are referred to us by hospitals, visiting nurses and psychiatrists. Families first addresses the challenges of postpartum adjustment and the risks of maternal depression by providing peer mentoring through weekly home visits with our trained and supervised volunteers, as well as social and educational gatherings.
Programs: The goal of the program is to restore confidence in the mother by offering her non-judgmental support, and to promote supportive relationships within her community. Our services are free of charge to families throughout the state, regardless of insurance status.
