At Family Connects International, we believe every newborn deserves a warm and secure connection to both family and community from the very beginning. These connections are most powerful when families have the support they need for their social, emotional, and physical well-being.
However, too often, medical providers and community agencies are not well-aligned, creating gaps that can lead to poor health outcomes. That’s where we come in—connecting families of newborns with trained nurses and local resources during the crucial postpartum period.
No family should face this period of significant change alone. Family Connects International is dedicated to ensuring the healthiest outcomes for newborns and their families. We work closely with our trusted community partners, guiding them in building strong relationships with local agencies and providers to address the needs of families with newborns.
Our Mission
Strengthening connections for families with newborns and linking them directly to supportive community care resources.
Our Vision
Each and every newborn has the support and resources they need to thrive.
After a 14-year partnership with Duke University, Family Connects International (FCI) became an independent nonprofit in July 2022. This transition has allowed FCI to reach more families and offer community partners enhanced services and greater support in implementing the Family Connects Model.
