Middlesex County parents who are pregnant, or have children up to five years old, receive free and voluntary home visitation services, including information, support, developmental screenings, and referrals to community resources. They ensure the early childhood learning development and health of their children. Families also build their social and human capacity. In the process, they become stronger, healthier, and succeed academically.
Middlesex County families improve their life skills in several core areas: health, parent education/family interaction, employment, housing, advocacy, and resource building. They also increase their social networks and capacity through the long-lasting connections they can make with other parents, children, and families. In the process, families become more aware and self-reliant.PRAB serves everyone regardless of age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, familial status, gender, sexual orientation, or functional impairment. We also serve as a voice to ensure equity & access to community resources and benefits for all people groups and communities in Central New Jersey.
