Idea Sharing
Idea Share/Success Stories/Message Board: Kentucky is actively involved in implementing the Kentucky Early Childhood Transition Report 2005. Communities may list ideas for implementation, successful local strategies, family stories, and post messages or questions needing further attention by KECTP staff or others. When a message is posted, communities of families and professionals may respond to the KECTP office or follow up with the message sender directly. The ideas shared, success stories, or messages should apply to this Transition Point.
Many communities recognize the wonderful anticipation of a newborn can include questions. To meet some of these needs, Health Access: Nurturing Development Services (HANDS) is a voluntary home visistation program available to support first time parents. Many Family Resource Centers and other agency partners across KY provide Baby Showers for expectant parents.
Many communities in Kentucky collaborate to support new parents with a Community Baby Shower. Read about one in Johnson County –
