So honored and grateful to be part of this work.
Last night, @HMHNewJersey HealthySteps champion Dr. Judy Aschner and @ZEROTOTHREE's @pbwtew were honored at @NewJerseyAAP's Children's Ball for the difference they've made in the lives of children and families in New Jersey. 👏🎉🌟
Caring and nurturing relationships in the earliest years provide the foundation for positive health and learning outcomes. Join @ACNJforKids @BurkeFoundation @njaimh @montclairstateu on 10/17 for a webinar on #EarlyRelationalHealth. bit.ly/3tux6zx

As a mom, as a social worker, is a daily pleasure to fight for a program I know makes lives better. Parenting is hard, lets make it easy for families to feel supported in that journey.
New Jersey's FY24 budget will improve access to transformative pediatric care for all young children and families in the state—and especially for those with low incomes. 👶 Learn more ⤵️ healthysteps.org/news/new-jerse…
We applaud New Jersey's investment in babies, toddlers, & their families – including funding for HealthySteps sites!👏 Big thanks to @HMHNewJersey @BurkeFoundation @TurrellFund @ACNJforKids @SHUHealthLaw @NewJerseyAAP @NJHCQI for your help bringing evidence-based programs to NJ.
Today, Phil signed New Jersey’s FY 2024 budget and I am thrilled to share that it includes a total of almost $60 million in funding for #NurtureNJ's maternal and infant health programs and policies. The funding includes impactful programs and policies such as:
Less than half of pregnant women know the signs & symptoms of preeclampsia. And still others may not share their symptoms with their health care providers for fear of over-reacting. #PreeclampsiaAwarenessMonth Find out more: bit.ly/44WbWZi
.@GovKathyHochul's FY24 budget makes key investments that will help improve access to a continuum of #MentalHealth care services–from prevention to promotion–for all New Yorkers. 👶 (Including investment in HealthySteps!) healthysteps.org/news/new-yorks…
After pausing due to COVID-19, states will be restarting yearly Medicaid and CHIP eligibility reviews. Here are steps families can take to help ensure continued coverage: bit.ly/3Ft2pOj
For far too long, maternal mental health and its impact on babies have been ignored. But that stigma is changing. This #WomensHistoryMonth, meet a few of the women who are making history as change agents for maternal #mentalhealth support. bit.ly/41BcHVW
"The number one questions asked in a pediatrician's office are about development, not about health." @DrMeghanWalls of @Nemours explains the importance of investing in integrated #EarlyChildhood programs like HealthySteps. @TEDxWilmington bit.ly/3XCYxjZ
We are grateful for @GovKathyHochul's support in ensuring all babies and toddlers in NY get a strong start. 👶
Finally, we’re focusing on the unmet mental health needs of young New Yorkers. I’m investing over $30 million to expand school-based mental health services, strengthen suicide prevention programs, and support our HealthySteps program and Home-Based Crisis Intervention teams.
Want to highlight the amazing work of @HMHNewJersey's @HealthyStepsZTT team this week. Maternal health is child health and both can be supported through integrated pediatric primary care teams so families get support where they already are.
Today is Maternal Health Awareness Day – a special day for #NurtureNJ & our Administration. Follow along today, and the rest of #MHAD week, as we share maternal and infant health resources and shed a light on the crisis our moms and babies are facing here, and across the nation.
~30% of babies & toddlers in NJ live in households with an income < 2x the federal poverty level. We're proud to partner with @NewJerseyAAP to transform #pediatricprimarycare delivery for the P-5 population who are eligible for Medicaid/CHIP or uninsured. njaap.org/nj-seedlings/
#InfantMentalHealth is often overlooked. Proud to see HealthySteps participants testify to the NJ legislature about ensuring babies & toddlers receive necessary care and support. (& how HealthySteps can improve access to care!) @HMHNewJersey @ACNJforKids youtube.com/watch?v=DqEMtZ…
A HealthySteps Physician Champion, HealthySteps caregiver & National Office staff testified today in front of the #NJAssembly Women and Children's Committee, calling for more support for #InfantMentalHealth and prevention.🙌 @HMHNewJersey @ACNJforKids
It's time to celebrate our babies! 🍼 @GovMurphy has officially declared this week as Celebrate Babies Week in the Garden State, because here in New Jersey we're building an environment where all pregnant people and babies can thrive. #NurtureNJ
The HealthySteps National Office is proud to partner with @NewJerseyAAP in transforming the way NJ families experience healthcare and helping them to thrive! bit.ly/3xYYULK
🤩We’re thrilled to see @starledger highlight the work that @HMHNewJersey @HealthySteps is doing! Specialists in pediatric offices touched 2K+families & made essential referrals to get families the help and support they need. bit.ly/3BULCCm
Black women are less likely than white women to receive maternal #MentalHealth screening & treatment, leading to disproportionate mortality rates. @StacyBrownMedia highlights how critical it is to provide supportive and equitable care, via @WashInformer bit.ly/3Pll94z
