Family Enrichment
Family Enrichment is part of an overall program of healthy engagement, encouraging struggling families to participate in coaching and programs that will benefit the family in their journey towards self-sufficiency. However not every family is ready to commit to a deeper level of engagement so enrichment opportunities are offered at two levels:
- Catholic Charities safety-net services are for families who are not invested in a deeper level of case management/family life coaching, but need emergency support services such as the children's clothing closet or help with basic needs (diapers, formula, and baby food). These families qualify for the Birthday Gifts for Children and Layettes for New Moms programs.
- Incentive-based programs for Healthy Engagement are directed at families who are involved in case management/family life coaching at a much deeper level. These families earn points based on that engagement and can receive additional needed items for their children.
New Birthday gift bags are provided to families in-need who sign up in advance. Caring community partners help provide birthday goodie bags to children ages 0-17.
Expectant parents are provided with a special layette containing many of the necessities for the arrival of their child. Layettes are available to parents up to one-month before their due date.
The free course provides information about car seat safety and safe sleep practices for children. Upon completing the course, families receive a free car seat or Pack n' Play portable crib. This program is based on funding availability. Course is offered once a week – please call 719.309.2968 to register.
