Additional Information

Family Nurse Partnership (FNP):  Is an evidence based, nurse led programme, which helps to improve the health, well-being and self-sufficiency of clients and their children.

What happens in pregnancy and in the first years of a baby’s life has a major influence on his/her subsequent behaviours, education, employment, health and other life choices. Family Nurse Partnership has proven to be most effective for young parents who face social challenges, such as financial, educational or family issues or stressors.

The Family Nurse Partnership programme offers support for first time young mums to be, under 20 years old, living within the Southern Trust area. It runs from early in pregnancy until the child is 2 years old.

Parents receive weekly/fortnightly home visits from specially trained nurses. The approach and materials used are rooted in theories of attachment, self-sufficiency and human ecology.

If you know a young woman who you feel could benefit from the programme, firstly check she is eligible:

  • First baby (previous miscarriage, stillbirth, termination still eligible) No later than 28 weeks gestation (60% required before 16 weeks)
