The Dover, Millsboro, Newark, Seaford and Smyrna Outpatient clinics each maintain a Mother and Baby program designed to meet the needs of the pregnant client through her recovery, as well as supporting her needs as she prepares for the new baby. Clients are assigned to a pregnancy counselor who will meet with them on a weekly basis to address any concerns, utilize community resources, and provide recovery support. Clients participate in weekly pregnancy groups where they receive education on an array of topics including prenatal care, safe sleep, abusive head trauma, parenting tips, healthy eating, breastfeeding, and much more. Clients earn points for attending these groups which they can redeem for items in our baby closet. As the client approaches delivery, a plan of safe care is created identifying any additional services and referrals she may need.
