Baby Love Plus

NC Baby Love Plus is a North Carolina State funded local initiative
Forsyth Baby Love Plus Program

What is Baby Love Plus?

Just as the name implies it is the plus for the family with a new baby. Families know how to nurture their babies but every family deserves a plus to help them meet their goals and navigate system barriers to achieving good health care. Barriers are missed steps that make plans to return to work, child care, planning for the next baby, and housing more difficult because the family was not aware of how to access services. Baby Love Plus Family Care Coordinators and Family Out Workers will assist you by making connections with community partners in Forsyth County and Winston Salem. The program links moms, babies and dads with important health care and support services.

Baby Love Plus provides:

Intensive outreach to connect women of childbearing age and their infants with prenatal and family health services
Culturally sensitive case management by a Family Care Coordinator (Social Worker) to promote healthy lifestyles between pregnancies and well-child care for up to two years after delivery
Two Group Birthday Celebrations for one and two year olds annually
Health education and training for local health and social service agencies, area hospitals, public health officials, church and civic volunteers
Leadership training and support for community partners
Bi-monthly fun and skill building Lunch & Learn gatherings
