General Information
Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is an evidence-based, community health program with 45 years of research showing significant improvements in the health and lives of first-time moms and their children affected by social and economic inequality.
For families enrolled in the program, a specially trained nurse will visit throughout the pregnancy and until the baby turns two years old. During these visits, the nurse will offer the knowledge and support the family needs to confidently create a better life for their baby and themself.
NFP is entirely voluntary and free-of-charge to enrolled families.
Eligibility
To be eligible, patients usually must meet the following requirements. We recommend referring anyone you think would benefit. Even if they don’t qualify for NFP, we will gladly connect them to services and resources they are eligible for.

Suquamish Tribe partnership:
Through a partnership with the Suquamish tribe, we are excited to offer NFP services to anyone who is pregnant and would like NFP support. Priority will be given to Suquamish Tribal members, descendants, and family members. We are also able to serve any individual who identifies as native within Kitsap County, as well as non-native members of the Suquamish community.
Evidence Base & Local Data
Local outcome data
We regularly assess the impact of our program by using standardized tools (PHQ-9, GAD-7) to assess our clients’ mental health, substance use, and caretaking/parenting behaviors throughout the vulnerable prenatal, postpartum, and early parenting stages. From January 2020 – December 2024, 58 Kitsap NFP graduates’ charts were analyzed for changes in knowledge, behavior, and status in the three identified domains (mental health, substance use, and caretaking/parenting).
For NFP clients with an identified mental health problem (58 clients), 100% had an improvement in either their knowledge, behavior, or status rating.
For NFP clients with an identified substance use problem (42 clients), 86% (36 out of 42 clients) had an improvement in either their knowledge, behavior, or status rating.
For NFP clients with an identified caretaking/parenting problem (54 clients), 98% (53 out of 54) had an improvement in either their knowledge, behavior, or status rating.
