Care for your whole family
Available in Butte, Glenn, and Shasta counties, our services are for expecting parents or families with children under 3 months old at the time of enrollment.
We follow the Healthy Families America model, which emphasizes empathy, respect, and trust—and reminds us that parents know their children best.
“As a young mom, I didn’t know where to start. My Home Visitor helped me figure things out—like how to care for my baby, what to expect, and where to get help. They brought me diapers when I was low and connected me to resources I didn’t even know existed. It made me feel like I wasn’t doing this alone.”

NVCSS offers the TAPP program for pregnant and parenting teens. The program follows the Adolescent Family Life Model, focusing on building trusting relationships with young parents and promoting healthy family functioning and positive outcomes. Through regular, strengths-based home visits, practitioners provide individualized education, emotional support, and practical guidance on parenting skills, child development, health, education, and goal setting. TAPP emphasizes empowerment, cultural responsiveness, and coordination with community resources, helping adolescent parents build confidence, resilience, and the skills to support their child’s well-being and personal growth.
