Maine Families
We provide information on healthy childhood growth and development, and support families as they develop a positive and satisfying relationship with their baby.
Maine Families is a program at no cost to parents, designed to support families during pregnancy and as they raise their children from birth through age five. A family can choose to end services at any time.
Childbirth Classes are offered at the Hospital every 8 weeks.
