Overview

- Get referrals and resources to community support services such as DSHS, WIC, and healthcare providers

What's Next?
Once enrolled, you’re in the driver’s seat! You and your nurse will work together to decide on topics of interest and personal goals. You’ll decide when and where you’d like to meet. General guidance is to meet every two weeks. You also get to decide who participates—you can include your partner, mom, or best friend.
