The HOPE nurse home visitation program offers eligible women and families the opportunity to receive home visits from a public health nurse to promote healthy pregnancies, healthy children, and healthy families. The HOPE program is offered to participants FREE OF CHARGE. There are two ways that families can participate in the HOPE program.

PRENATAL HOPE   FAMILY HOPE
It can be an exciting time as you look forward to the birth of your baby. It can also be a time when you have questions and concerns.

Prenatal HOPE is FREE nurse home visitation program available to pregnant women who live in Broomfield County.  Women who are eligible will receive home visits from a public health nurse every 1-2 weeks during their pregnancy and up to their child’s 2nd birthday.

Prenatal HOPE is designed for pregnant women with medical, social, or behavioral risk factors. Clients may be first time moms or may already have children. All first time moms are offered Broomfield’s Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) program administered through Jefferson County. However, if the NFP program is unable to accept the referral (client over income guidelines, program at capacity, client too far along in the pregnancy, etc.) then the client will be offered the HOPE program. Home visits begin as early as possible in the pregnancy and continue up to the child’s 2nd birthday. Some examples of risk factors include: previous low birth weight infants, tobacco or substance use, poor maternal weight gain, low level of education, history of depression, lack of social support, history of child abuse, and high levels of perceived stress.

Family HOPE is a FREE nurse home visitation program available to eligible Broomfield families who are looking for a little extra support. Visits occur every 1-2 weeks for a period of no more than 16 weeks (4 months). You and your nurse will decide the ideal length of time for you.

Family HOPE is designed for any family seeking additional support or who would benefit from a short-term intensive program in an effort to reduce risk factors associated with child and family violence. Home visits provide education, assistance in goal setting, and referrals to community resources. Visits are tailored to a client’s needs and may occur once or may continue every 1-2 weeks up to 16 weeks.
