Helping Hands Program

The Helping Hands Prenatal Program, in a non-profit, prenatal program. It offers free prenatal support to mom’s who are in need. This support includes but is not limited to, transportation, a listening ear, prenatal education and connection to resources. It is a voluntary program that is uniquely tailored to the individual needs of the expectant mom.

A mom in need of support may require help connecting to resources, have minimal support people or may be involved with or at risk of involvement with Highland Shores Children’s Aid. The program makes it possible to work with a mom’s existing support network and increase mom’s access to supports and provide education on how to access new supports.

In addition to prenatal support, the program also offers 6 to 8 weeks of post-partum support to ensure that bonding and feeding are going well. During this time, HH can help connect to additional supports and resources as needed.
