What value do Children and Family Health Services provide?
Comprehensive Care
Aims to enhance the health of children and their families through preventive care, developmental screenings, and health education. It includes regular check-ups and immunizations to protect against diseases, assessments to identify developmental delays for timely intervention, and resources to educate families on nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices.
Nutritional Support
Focuses on promoting healthy eating habits for children and their families. This includes nutritional counseling to guide families on balanced diets and meal planning, especially beneficial for those facing food insecurity. Many programs also facilitate access to food assistance initiatives like WIC, ensuring families receive nutritious foods.
Community Engagement
Emphasizes collaboration with local organizations, schools, and health providers to enhance health outcomes. This involves organizing health fairs and screenings to raise awareness about available services and encourage families to utilize them. Additionally, programs advocate for policies that support child and family health, addressing systemic barriers to access.
