Support to help you parent safely
Learn parenting best practices
Parenting infants and young children takes a lot of energy, patience, and focus. They need your constant supervision and attention, which can be overwhelming in the best of circumstances. Parents and caregivers deserve support, especially if you’re new to parenting, are parenting on your own, or don’t feel confident about your parenting skills.
That’s why we offer SafeCare, a proven, in-home service to coach you on parenting best practices that will help you establish a strong bond with your child, create a safe home environment, and keep your child healthy and protected.
Strengthen your parenting skills in three key areas
Family relationships
Increase positive interactions with your infant/child, structure daily activities, and reduce challenging behaviors.
Home safety
Minimize risk for unintentional injury and identify common household hazards and ways to eliminate these hazards.
Child health
Recognize when your child is sick or injured and learn a structured process to determine when and how to care for your child, including how to keep good medical records.
