A Mom Turns Her Life Around with Project WIN
When Martika began working with VNA’s Project WIN, her living conditions were less than ideal. She wanted to provide a safe, stable environment for her daughter, but the home she lived in was not conducive for a healthy lifestyle.
Project WIN’s Impact
Project WIN (Welcoming Infants Into Neighborhoods) focuses on providing health education and support to young families who are expecting or have an infant or child under 3 years of age.
A public health nurse helps identify needs and analyzes access to health care, provides health assessments, and educates on healthcare and child development.
Social workers or parent coaches provide support in developing parenting and self-sufficiency skills, establishing and achieving educational goals, and helping connect families to other community agencies depending on need. Nurses and coaches visit one to two times per month.
