HANDS (Health Access Nurturing Development Services)
Coordinator: Pat Mashburn, RN
Family Support Workers: Diane Rolstad, RN; Carmen Ramirez; Darlene Shemwell
HANDS is a voluntary program for new and expectant parents. Families begin by meeting with a HANDS Parent Visitor who will discuss any questions or concerns about pregnancy or a baby’s first years. Based on this discussion, all families will receive information and learn about resources available in the community for new parents. Some families will receive further support through home visitation. First-time moms and/or dads residing in Kentucky can participate in HANDS. Services can begin during pregnancy or anytime before a child is three months old.
Why participate in HANDS? Parents are the most important people in a baby’s life and are the first and most important teachers a child will ever have. Parenting is a very demanding job; and all parents have worries, questions, and stress. HANDS is there to support you.
