Nurse-Family Partnership

You don’t have to face pregnancy alone.

ChildStrive’s Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) pairs first-time pregnant individuals with a specially trained nurse who provides support, guidance, and encouragement from pregnancy through your baby’s second birthday.

What you’ll receive:

  • Answers to your questions about pregnancy and birth

  • Guidance on feeding and caring for your newborn

  • Support for your health and your baby’s healthy development

  • Encouragement to set goals and build the future you want for your family

How it works:

  • Your nurse visits you regularly—at home, or wherever you’re most comfortable (even a park or coffee shop)

  • Visits begin during pregnancy and continue until your child turns 2

  • Your nurse helps with health, parenting, and connecting you to resources

  • Together, you’ll build a strong foundation of love, stability, and opportunity for your child

Who can enroll:

  • First-time pregnant individuals in Snohomish County

  • Enrollment is best by the 16th week of pregnancy, but possible up to the 28th week*

  • Must be eligible for Medicaid, Apple Health, or WIC

*We encourage referrals to be submitted by the 24th week of pregnancy to allow enough time for enrollment before the 28-week cutoff.

Why it matters:
Pregnancy can bring excitement, questions, and stress. With Nurse-Family Partnership, you’ll have a trusted nurse by your side to support you every step of the way.
