At Family Connects International (FCI), we believe that every newborn deserves the best possible start in life, which is why we offer our Family Connects model to all families—foster, adoptive, and bereaved parents included. Our approach provides a free, nurse-led home visit to offer a maternal and child health screening and connect families to local services tailored to their unique needs.
But our support doesn’t stop there. FCI ensures that families are fully connected to community resources by following up after referrals to ensure the connection is made. By focusing on building strong ties both at home and within the community, we help families and their newborns thrive. We work closely with local partners to reach at least 60% of families in a community, helping to create a robust, community-based care system that promotes optimal maternal and child health and well-being.
