Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to participate?

Nothing! Thanks to long-standing partnerships in the community, and support from donors and sponsors, this program is 100% free for anyone who participates.

Who can participate

Partnership serves young families- we define this as any family where one of the parents is 26 years old or younger. We work with both moms and dads, and there is no income restriction. That means that no matter how much or little you make, you are eligible to participate.

Where do visits with Family Support Workers take place?

We know that it can be difficult to commute to our office at times, so generally our Support Workers schedule visits in your home or in another place that is convenient for you. We do schedule visits at the Thrive facility if families are able to make over.

What do Family Support Workers do?

Family Support Workers are professional Thrive staff who help young families become the best parents they can be and create a great start for their child.

Through home visiting and one-on-one support, family support workers help families identify their needs and work to accomplish their goals. This looks different for each family, depending on their unique needs and situation.
