Maternal & Infant Support

Maternal & Infant Support Programs

“It has helped me so much having someone listen to me and give me advice. I often think during the week, ‘When is Laura coming?’, because no one else in my life has taken the time to be with me like you. She has helped me with my goals and talked with me when I feel stressed. From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for Wellroot and the generous people that support it.”
– Maylin, Healthy Families North Georgia™ client

First Steps

First Steps Georgia provides families with parenting information on topics relevant to parent and child health and safety and a guide containing information on community resources appropriate for expectant parents and children from birth to five and their families.

As a First Steps provider, Wellroot partners with health clinics and community centers to provide families with direct access to a dedicated coordinator. This coordinator offers personalized resource guides and helps connect families to valuable community services, including our home visitation program for those who qualify.
