Parent Wellness Tele-Visit Program

This program provides parents with telephonic support through the first months of their child’s life.

Getting home for the first time after welcoming your child into the world and looking to the next few months can be one of the most exciting and daunting times of a new parent’s life, which is why it is vital that new parents receive the support they need to thrive with their child.

The Parent Wellness Tele-Visit Program is an initiative by UMC and UNLV designed to provide new parents with a space to share their experience as new parents and to provide guidance on accessing any resources that may ease the burdens of early parenthood.

The support provided in this program includes, but is not limited to:

  • Community Resources
  • Building a Support Network
  • Reducing Family and Parental Stress
  • Positive Parenting Skills
  • Mental Health Support
  • Information on Important Screenings
  • Child Safety

 

As parents, you will be able to speak to our support specialist about your current experience in new parenthood along with any present concerns or questions you may have. With your permission, the support specialist can then connect you to relevant resources and prepare any referrals for services, working with you and the service provider to help guide you as parents through the process and ensure a smoother transition to receiving the desired support.

Providing you with an easy way to access these resources can make the difference in promoting positive parenting and improving the well-being of both parents and children.
