Families First: For FFHV Agencies

The Families First home visiting program coordinates visits for first time parents with subcontracting agencies throughout Sonoma County. FFHV agencies agree to:

"Provide families for first-born children in Sonoma County three home visits in order to...

• Welcome new births and celebrate new parenthood
• Provide information to new parents about early childhood development
• Provide families with information about and referrals to appropriate resources and services
• Promote the health and well-being of babies and families

...regardless of location, income or residency status - and deliver all services in a culturally-appropriate setting."

The resources provided are intended to support the activities of the FFHV agenices.
