y programa de apoyo.
Los padres prenatales, los padres primerizos y algunos padres por segunda vez pueden ser elegibles para nuestro programa Healthy Families y los Servicios Doula incluidos.
Healthy Families is a voluntary, free parent education and support program that offers home visiting to eligible first time parents (and some second time parents). Home visiting offers new parents support around pregnancy, child development, parenting, school readiness, health, and community resources. Our Healthy Families Illinois-Shawnee Health program serves families in Jackson, Perry, Franklin, and Williamson Counties. The program has been serving families in Southern Illinois since 1994 and is funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services. We are nationally accredited by Healthy Families America.
We now have doula services available for pregnant families who enroll with us at 6 weeks or before. You can enroll in doula services without enrolling in HF services.
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to a mother before, during, and after childbirth. Our doula can help expectant families prepare for their labor and delivery experience, offer no medico apoyo durante el trabajo de parto y el parto, y brindar educación y apoyo posparto, incluido el apoyo a la lactancia materna y la educación sobre la salud materna y neonatal durante las semanas 6 a 8 posparto.
Our long term Family Support Specialists provide ongoing home visiting support to enrolled families from pregnancy through the child’s fifth birthday.
Los padres elegibles pueden inscribirse y comenzar a recibir servicios de nuestro programa Healthy Families durante el embarazo o cuando su hijo tenga tres meses de edad.
Las familias no tienen que ser pacientes de Shawnee Health Service para participar en nuestro programa Healthy Families, aunque ciertamente alentamos a los pacientes elegibles de Shawnee Health Service a aprender más y ver si el apoyo de Healthy Families los beneficiaría.
