Free Family Resource Fair Coming to Downtown Evansville
Goodwill Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), in partnership with Caresource, will provide a free family resource fair in downtown Evansville.
What Is the Goodwill NFP Program?
Goodwill of Central and Southern Indiana began its Nurse-Family Partnership in Indiana in 2011 with just eight nurses serving Indianapolis. In that time, the program has expanded to include services to 62 Hoosier counties including Vanderburgh, Gibson, Warrick, and Posey.
By the end of 2022, Goodwill NFP reached a milestone of supporting over 4,000 babies born throughout our service area, which means their parents learned how to bond with their baby; keep their baby safe; were counseled on the benefits of breastfeeding; received trusted resources, support, and guidance, as needed, for housing, education, employment and child care; and had their physical status regularly assessed, so they could achieve a healthy pregnancy and birth. To date, the program has served more than 7,500 families...
