EarlyON
Public Health is partnering with local EarlyON Child and Family Centres to support families with new babies during COVID-19. New parents may be asked by their hospital or midwife if they would like Public Health to share their contact information with EarlyON centres. EarlyON staff will then provide a follow-up phone call to families to offer social support, information about early parenting, and connections to local resources. EarlyON Centres are experienced providers of support for local parents and caregivers of children aged 0-6. This phone call is in addition to the telephone support through Public Health that some families receive after the birth of their baby when referred by their midwife or hospital nurse to the Healthy Babies Healthy Children program.
