Safe Babies Safe Moms Program Closure

The Safe Babies Safe Moms program at Benton-Franklin Health District will be closing by the end of summer 2017. The state contracts are transitioning to a program called Parent-Child Assistance Program (PCAP).

At this time, we are unsure who the lead agency for PCAP will be. We will update this site once that has been determined.

Safe Babies Safe Moms staff are still currently available to assist active clients in a limited capacity as well as provide a linkage to other community resources.
