Quitting isn’t about what you give up.
It’s about what you get back.
Rebecca, age 57, Florida
Our home visiting program provides parenting and life skills for successful and positive parenting.
We serve Native families that are either expecting or have infants under the age of 12 months,
continuing through the child’s third birthday. We travel throughout the 11-county service area of
the Confederated Tribe of Siletz Indians. The model and curriculum we provide is called Family
Spirit and was developed by the John Hopkins Center for American Indian Health. We are funded
by the Tribal Maternal, Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (TMIECHV).
Family Spirit is evidence-based and culturally sensitive to Native families. Parents gain knowledge
and skills for their developing infant through 36 months of age. We also focus on goals and
healthy living for parents as a support system for the family as a whole. The program consists of
63 lessons over a 39-month period and is divided into six modules. The modules are broken into
these categories: Prenatal care (9 lessons), infant care (16 lessons), your growing child (11
lessons), toddler care (9 lessons), my family and me (6 lessons) and healthy living (12 lessons).
While this may seem like a big commitment, the lessons vary from 30 minutes to 90 minutes and
some can be combined together as we work with your schedule. Family Spirit suggests we
deliverer at least 32 lessons to our families in order for families to benefit from the evidence-
based curriculum. For the full benefits of the program, we would like to provide all 63 to our
families. As a thank you for participating in our program, we offer some incentives that we will be
happy to share with you upon enrollment in our program.

smoking would help, but it just made her more
depressed. When she quit smoking it changed
her life, mentally and physically. Now she
During your participation, if you feel like the timeline of lessons is too often, we can adjust the
home visits to accommodate your schedule while still keeping the programs timeline in mind. We

you would like to get more information and or meet our home visiting staff, we would love to
schedule a home visit to give you a full overview of the program.
