Low-risk families often times fall through the cracks for assistance in
our community. These programs are designed to offer low/moderate-low risk families a Public
Health Nurse perspective on their child's needs, and to assist in their identifying and
connecting to appropriate support, if needed. Public Health Staff can accept referrals
from Child Protective Services (CPS) for low-risk families with higher risk health needs.
We offer home visits, assessment and case management services, focusing on
developmental/growth parameters, utilizing specific assessment tools which encourage
quicker identification of a family's strengths and weaknesses, linking families with
formal and informal services within their community. |
