New Parent support is staffed by licensed social workers, marriage and family therapists, and registered nurses. The team provides assistance, education, and support to our Marine Corps families by offering in-home visits, parenting education classes, information, and referrals for active-duty personnel and family members. Through a variety of programs, New Parent Support can help families adjust to having a new baby and coping with stress, isolation, pre and post-deployment, reunification, and everyday life.

What if we are not new parents? Even if you have been raising your family for a few years, new ages and stages bring different challenges. Often, adding a brother or sister to the family presents a real change for everyone. The New Parent Support Program offers you the opportunity to express your concerns and ask questions about babies, young children, and family relationships.
