When Martika began working with VNA’s Iowa WIN, her living conditions were less than ideal. She wanted to provide a safe, stable environment for her daughter, but the home she lived in was not conducive for a healthy lifestyle.

Social workers or parent coaches provide support in developing parenting and self-sufficiency skills, establishing and achieving educational goals, and helping connect families to other community agencies depending on need. Nurses and parent coaches visit two times per month.
