Parents as Teachers - Region 1 MIECHV

Located in Gretna, LA, the Parents as Teachers - Region 1 MIECHV program is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of pregnant women and families with young children through its free, voluntary home visiting services. As part of the Louisiana Department of Health’s Bureau of Family Health, we connect families with qualified nurses and parent educators who offer tailored education, support, and resource referrals. Our aim is to empower families, fostering positive parenting skills and boosting caregiving confidence, all while assisting them in achieving personal goals like pursuing education or employment. Through our comprehensive approach, families benefit from improved economic stability, early identification of developmental delays, and overall enhancement of child health and development. We invite families in the region to take advantage of our supportive services designed to inspire growth and success.
