During the past five years, the Florida State University Center for Prevention and Early Intervention Policy, under the leadership of Dr. Mimi Graham, has developed, copyright protected and directly distributed "The Partners for a Healthy Baby" curricular series.

These research-based guides were developed to help home visitors conduct visits to help expectant families have and cope with a new baby to ensure a happy, healthy child. Critical topics are designed for each trimester/month of pregnancy through the baby's first birthday. Magazine style handouts reflecting ethnically diverse families are given to parents in English and Spanish. (see http://www.cpeip.fsu.edu/).

These curricula, unique in addressing both family and child health and development, are enthusiastically used by Early Head Start and Healthy Start Healthy Families programs as well as hospitals and school boards throughout the nation.

New "Fatherhood" and "Womens' Self-Esteem" curricula are ready for distribution.
