Home Visits
A new study has found that expectant mothers who receive home visits from trained client navigators and licensed master social workers and nurses have a better outcome of not delivering a low birth weight baby than other mothers in similar situations. Monthly one on one sessions on prenatal, maternal and infant care are offered.

 

Child Birth Classes
Childbirth class is held monthly for women who are in their third trimester.  This class is tailored to the delivery and postpartum aspects of birth by a trained certified childbirth educator. Contact Low Country Healthy Start for further information or to sign up for one of these classes. 

 

A facilitated group session of LCHS postpartum women who learn and support from one another through actively participating in facilitated group discussions on various health and interconceptional care topics which are navigated by LCHS Client Navigators, Perinatal Outreach Advocate and licensed masters' prepared social workers.

 

Tomorrow’s Scholars
This year Low Country Healthy Start has implemented a “Tomorrow’s Scholars” Leadership Program made up of 15 program participants who exhibit leadership skills. The purpose of this program is to assist the LCHS participants in making positive life changes around their health, both physically and mentally, career development, and to become ambassadors for the LCHS program.

 

Milestone Play Dates
Client Navigators along with  Perinatal Social Workers, work with mothers in a series of interactive sessions that help to enhance and develop gross-motor, fine-motor, problem-solving, personal social, and communication skills of an infant; while creating a bond  between mother and baby.
