Family support program including the development focus of very young children and supporting services for young families who are low income and at-risk.family support program - since 2005 the family support program has offered intensive home visiting services to the families in our community whose children are most at-risk for abuse, neglect and academic failure. Through our long time community commitment, iwse learns of often unseen and extremely vulnerable, isolated, and hard-to-reach families not served through center-based programs. Many of these families are extremely disconnected from the community and other families, and thus are often unaware of available services and of the importance of early learning. Iwse's family support program addresses these needs by providing services to families in their homes that include weekly home visits, case management, and social services support from our trained staff. Parents also attend monthly socializations that support parenting and relationship-building with other families. Iwse uses the research-based baby talk curriculum during our work with families.
