Healthy Start Coalition of HHP receives MIECHV

Grant

The Area Health Education Center (AHEC) provides free tobacco cessation services in your area. The overall goal of the AHEC Tobacco Training & Cessation Program, is to strengthen the capacity of Florida's healthcare system to deliver effective evidence-based tobacco use treatment, and prevention services throughout the state. Programs offer education on the health effects related to tobacco use, but more importantly, they teach the benefits of quitting and what to expect when quitting. A Tobacco Cessation Specialist or trained facilitator guides participants as they identify triggers and withdrawal symptoms, and brainstorm ways to cope with them.

About MIECHV: a program that provides parents and other caregivers with the knowledge, skills and tools they need to assist their children in being healthy, safe, and ready to succeed in school. The program's goal is to improve healthy and developmental outcomes for at risk children through the Nurse-Family Partnership program.

The Nurse-Family Partnership is a fee, voluntary program that partners first-time moms with nurse home visitors. When moms enroll in the program, a specially trained nurse will visit them throughout their pregnancy and until their baby turns two years old. During these visits, the burse will offer the knowledge and support needed to confidently create a better life for baby and mom.
