Bellies, Babies, & Beyond (BBB) program is a Healthy Start initiative designed to work with women and their families before, during and after pregnancy, engaging pregnant women and continuing to serve the family through the baby’s second birthday. Families receive home visitation, case management, health education, perinatal depression screening, reproductive life planning, counseling, and the opportunity to participate in male involvement workshops, among other activities, to ensure a healthy pregnancy, birth, and developmental outcome.
For more than 10 years, BBB, a federal Healthy Start Program, has been providing assistance to pregnant women, interconceptual women, infants, and children up to 18 months to obtain the health care and social support needed to reduce the risks for poor maternal and child health outcomes.
