What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

First Steps

First Steps program offers valuable information for expectant and new parents concerning the critical first months of a newborn’s life. Families receive free information about resources in their community as well as the opportunity to get support from our home visiting program, Healthy Families.

Population(s) Served
Infants and toddlers
Women and girls

This program is a nationally credentialed, evidenced-based, prevention program based on an in-home visitation model. Healthy Families focuses on providing support for at-risk families with children aged 0 to 5. We engage these families prenatally or within the first two years of a child's life using the Healthy Families "Growing Great Kids” curriculum. A Family Support Worker visits the home weekly and models appropriate mother/child behavior, promotes proper nutrition, breastfeeding, bonding, safe sleep, literacy and teaches families healthy growth and development.

Population(s) Served
Infants and toddlers
Women and girls

This program is for grandparents, legal guardians and kinship placements who are raising their grandchildren or other minor chidlren. We use an evidence-based curriculum (Triple P) in both a support group setting as well as a home visiting program. We help these families navigate the legalities associated with custody and/or adoption; tutoring for children who are behind grade level and counseling for both the caregiver and the child as appropriate.

Population(s) Served
Seniors
Children and youth

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Engaging Families. Building Strengths. Serving children birth to five years by equipping and empowering parents and grandparents with the skills needed to provide safe, secure, and nourishing homes. Investing in the health and wellness and quality of life of young children by training parents and grandparents and giving them the tools to build successful families and children in the community. Reducing child abuse and reducing children in the foster care system through purposeful and preventive programs that benefit the child, the family, and the community.

First Steps - at birth, being involved with helping mother and baby through home visits and training and connecting with other organizations and resources in the community to meet their SDoH needs.

Healthy Families - program Growing Great Kids - in-home training program for the first five years, equipping parents and grandparents in the community to build strong families - this affects their home, work, and involvement in the community. Making better healthier communities as these families make better choices.

Grandparent Connection - Training grandparents that are raising young children is benefiting the children and the older members of the community - creating positive intergenerational community involvement.

Individuals, families, and organizations in the community have the opportunity to partner and collaborate with Coastal Coalition for Children to build a better community overall.
