New Parent Support Program (NPSP)

Support for parents during the early years

If you’re expecting a baby or raising a child under age three, the New Parent Support Program offers extra help. Nurses and social workers can meet with you at home, at the office, or even virtually. They’ll answer your questions about feeding, sleeping, discipline, or coping with stress during deployments and reunions.

We also offer workshops like Baby Bootcamp, parenting classes, and playgroups where little ones learn and parents connect. All services are free, private, and meant to build confidence during the early years of parenting.
