Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP)

Support for Expecting and New Parents in Pima, Cochise, Pinal, Santa Cruz, Yuma, and Phoenix.

Welcome Support from a Nurse

 Easterseals Blake Foundation (EBF) Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) provides free, evidence-based home visits for first-time, low-income mothers, starting early in pregnancy and continuing through the child's second birthday. Nurses offer support, health education, and guidance, focusing on improving pregnancy outcomes, child development, and parenting skills. 

About Our Programs

Our Nurse Home Visitation services include multiple evidence-based programs delivered by experienced, registered nurses. While some eligibility criteria vary, your nurse will help determine which program is the best fit.

This approach ensures you get the right level of care based on your unique situation — without needing to figure it out yourself.
