HANDS <\/strong>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\u2019s 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. That\u2019s right information brought right to your home!<\/p>\n

Who <\/strong>can participate in HANDS? First-time moms and\/or dads residing in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

When <\/strong>do HANDS services begin? Services can begin during pregnancy or anytime before a child is 3 months old.<\/p>\n

Why<\/strong> participate in HANDS? Because parents are the most important people in a baby\u2019s life.\u00a0 Parents are the first and most important teachers a child will ever have.\u00a0 And, parenting is a very demanding job, and all parents have questions and stress.<\/p>\n

What <\/strong>can parents expect?<\/p>\n
