Right From The Start
About Right From The Start
The Right From The Start Project (RFTS) is a statewide program in West Virginia committed to producing improvements in birth outcomes for low income pregnant women and their families. The RFTS Project uses a program of home visitation provided by registered nurses and licensed social workers known as Designated Care Coordinators (DCCs), who work and reside in the community they serve. The DCC's help women attempt to achieve these important goals:
1.) Improve pregnancy outcomes by helping women engage in good preventive health practices including early comprehensive prenatal car, good nutrition, and reducing use of cigarettes, alcohol and other illegal substances.
2.) Helping parents increase their knowledge of child development, offering parent education, and facilitating access to community resources.
3.) Improve families' economic and personal self-sufficiency by empowering parents to develop a vision for their own future, plan future pregnancies, continue their education and find jobs.
