In Marrero, LA, the Parents as Teachers - Region 1 MIECHV program offers a valuable no-cost, voluntary service designed to uplift pregnant women and families with young children. Part of the Louisiana Department of Health’s Bureau of Family Health, this initiative connects families with registered nurses and experienced parent educators who provide tailored support and guidance right in their homes or in a comfortable location of their choice. Our dedicated staff focuses on enhancing health education, fostering positive parenting skills, and building caregiving confidence. We empower families by helping them set and achieve personal goals, whether that means pursuing educational opportunities or improving employment prospects. Additionally, participants benefit from early identification of developmental challenges and connections to essential community resources. Through our program, we strive to improve economic self-sufficiency and enhance child health and overall family well-being, making a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
