Program

Our Community Health Workers (CHWs) provide individualized health education, advocacy, and compassionate support to pregnant and postpartum families. Services include one-on-one home visits, reproductive justice and child development education, and connections to a wide range of community resources. CHWs also teach about newborn care and help ensure participants’ mental health needs are addressed and that families are supported in maintaining safe and healthy home environments.

Queens Global Families also offers group-based workshops and support programs:

• Hola Bebé/ Baby Basics is a prenatal education group
• Círculo de Mamás, a postpartum support group, creates a safe and supportive space for postpartum women to learn, share, and build community
• Circle of Caring is a protected space for mothers who are dealing with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
• Let’s Talk Dads is a wellness group for fathers or father-figures
• Entre Nosotras is a closed mental health support group for moms enrolled in QGF
• Time to Relax is a health and wellness movement group that encourages women to have movement and meditation to destress

Queens Global Families serves pregnant, postpartum and parenting Queens residents.

Learn from a few of our participants about the impact of their participation in Queens Global Families:

“Honestly, you can’t ask for anything more; they really have everything and above all, the service and friendliness are excellent.”

“Circulo de Mamas is the time I used to unwind. It’s time to share and be heard. I struggled a lot during my pregnancy and being here to talk about it has allowed me time to process. I enjoy connecting with other moms and the group facilitators”.

“My Community Health Worker is great. She has offered a sense of trust and I feel very comfortable talking to her. She is always checking to see how I am. She was a great support throughout my pregnancy with my first baby.”

“Because of this program, I have learned about community resources I did not know were available to my family”
