A prevention/early intervention initiative designed to give children (prenatal-6yrs) a better start in life. All Peel Region families with newborns receive a telephone call from a Public Health Nurse within 48hrs after discharge from the hospital. New parents receive advice and support to help them with the changes a new baby brings, and are offered a home visit by a Public Health Nurse. Families who are isolated and overburdened will have access to the Home Visiting Program, which offers the family the support of a Family Visitor and a Public Health Nurse. This program is offered throughout the Region of Peel. |
