Family Connects Oregon Highlighted in NPR Article

FC Oregon Nurse, Barb Ibrahim, visits with Amber and Matt Luman and their new daughter, Esserley.

Family Connects Highlighted In NPR Article!

[Family Connects] “offers any family with a new baby a no-cost visit at home with a trained nurse…It’s the state’s response to a grim, American reality: The U.S. has one of the highest death rates of any wealthy nation for infants and new mothers. And no wonder. After birth, the only support many families in the U.S. can count on is the occasional, 15-minute check-in at the pediatrician’s office. A safety net made of gossamer. Now, Oregon is trying to change that.”

“Around 1 in 7 new mothers in the U.S. report postpartum depression…A study of Family Connects in Durham found mothers in the program were 30% less likely to experience possible postpartum depression or anxiety.”

“…Family Connects also found a big drop in Child Protective Services investigations into parents…[along with] a big drop in the number of trips new parents were making to the emergency room.”

Family Connects International Celebrates 2 Years!

Family Connects International is proud to celebrate our 2nd anniversary as a nonprofit organization in July! Over the past 2 years, we have remained committed to assisting our community partners in caring for newborns and their families through our universal nurse home visiting program! We want to thank our community partners, nurses, and staff for their dedication to the FCI mission of providing equitable care for newborns and families.

Special thanks to Welcome Baby of Durham, NC for the opportunity for the FCI team to commemorate this milestone meaningfully by volunteering. The FCI team sized and labeled maternity clothing as well as prepared information packets!
