NFN SERVES PREGNANT MOTHERS AND FAMILIES WITH INFANTS WHO HAVE ONE OR MORE RISK FACTORS FOR POOR HEALTH OR OTHER ADVERSE OUTCOMES. RISK FACTORS CAN BE INFANT-CENTERED, INCLUDING MEDICALLY FRAGILE INFANTS DUE TO PREMATURITY, LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, GENETIC DISORDERS OR PRENATAL SUBSTANCE EXPOSURE. RISK FACTORS CAN BE PARENT-CENTERED, INCLUDING GIVING BIRTH BEFORE THE AGE OF 19, INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY, PARENT ILLNESS OR MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS. RISK FACTORS CAN ALSO INCLUDE POVERTY, SOCIAL ISOLATION, AND UNSAFE HOUSING. FAMILIES ARE REFERRED BY HOSPITALS, OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES OR CAN REQUEST SERVICES ON THEIR OWN. REGISTERED NURSES SERVE FAMILIES THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE, EVIDENCE-INFORMED HOME VISITING MODEL AND PROVIDE: 1) HEALTH ASSESSMENTS OF THE INFANT AND MOTHER, 2) EXTENSIVE SCREENING, INCLUDING MATERNAL DEPRESSION, INFANT DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS, AND RISK FOR CHILD ABUSE/NEGLECT, 3) TEACHING ON INFANT CARE, CPR, NUTRITION, SAFE SLEEP, MEDICAL ADVOCACY AND MORE, AND 4) RESOURCES AND REFERRAL FOR NEEDED SERVICES. DONATED EMERGENCY SUPPLIES ARE PROVIDED TO FAMILIES BASED ON NEED AND AVAILABILITY. FREQUENCY OF VISITS IS INDIVIDUALIZED AND MAY BE PROVIDED FOR UP TO TWO YEARS AFTER THE INFANT'S BIRTH. FOR SOME FAMILIES, NURSE HOME VISITING IS AUGMENTED BY THE ASSISTANCE OF NFN'S COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATORS WHO PROVIDE LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION AND/OR ENHANCED CULTURAL COMPETENCY, ASSISTANCE WITH MATERIAL AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES, AND PEER SUPPORT FOR THE INFANT'S CAREGIVERS. NFN'S LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKERS ALSO ASSIST SOME FAMILIES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL OR MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS THAT MAY IMPEDE THE INFANT'S PROGRESS.
