PRIME-North....
Funded by the Philadelphia Department
of Public Health, Division of
Early Childhood, Youth and Women’s Health,
PRIME-North is the Project’s maternal and child health
community education program. Project staff provides referrals
to teens and women who are pregnant or parenting children up
to two years old. Project staff also do workshops and
presentations at many community health organizations on
topics that range from parenting and self-esteem to stress
management and nutrition.
PRIME-North sponsors a community health
fair every spring for teens and women who live in North
Central Philadelphia.
The overall goal of PRIME-North is to
provide support services to at-risk minority teens and women
to better insure a healthy pregnancy that will reduce the
incidence of infant mortality in our community. Here at the
Project, we realize that healthy women are more likely to
have healthy families.
Workshop and presentation topics
