The New Parent Support Program is a family support program
promoting positive parenting and healthy families. It is a group of
home visitors with special training and expertise in a variety of topics for
parents and young families. They provide personal and educational
services for families with infants and young children. These services
take into account the special needs of military families, and are available to
military families at installations worldwide. The NPSP serves
military personnel and family members assigned to Quantico, expectant parents
and parents of newborns, families with children under six years of
age.
