New Parents

Welcome new parents and families!  We have information packets for 

* brand new parents in both English and Spanish 

* a pregnant mother 

* grandparents

 Packets are to be in the major hospitals, to be given to parents as soon as a diagnosis is made.  If you are pregnant, a grandparent, or did not receive a packet from your hospital, please contact us for information if interested. We can mail or hand deliver a packet.  We are also most happy to connect through a hospital or home visit.  

Our program now has a gift basket to welcome new babies. ☺  Your new-parent packet includes a postcard to mail in letting us know your baby is here and how to contact you.  The basket has treats for both mom and baby, as well as a book for siblings (if appropriate).
