Our Approach

Once enrolled in Baby 1st, we tailor our services to focus on the mother’s needs.  Each mom is eligible for one-on-one support from a certified peer recovery coach, and assistance with referrals to community resources and services.  Our moms also have opportunities for FREE classes and can earn incentives.

We welcome you to our Baby 1st Program.  If you have questions, contact us at (304) 388-4381.
