One-on-one support during pregnancy and infancy
Pregnancy and taking care of an infant is never easy. When an expecting parent faces serious challenges, it is even tougher.
The Choices Safety PIN program helps parents stay healthy throughout pregnancy and during a baby’s first year.
Indiana has one of the highest rates of infant mortality in the nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Safety PIN was established to reduce infant deaths across Indiana.
We help parents access critical services
Getting the right support can be overwhelming when experiencing high stress. A Choices care coordinator first gets to know each parent’s needs.
Together, they work to access resources such as:
- Prenatal and postnatal care
- Ongoing OB/GYN providers
- Pediatricians
- Transportation to necessary appointments
- Substance use recovery support
- Basic needs (ex: housing, food, clothing, employment)
- Government benefits (ex: WIC, Social Security, Medicaid)
- Homelessness
What the program is like
Safety PIN is completely voluntary. We often work with new or expecting parents for more than one year. Many receive help getting to doctor or other critical appointments.
We also work with parents involved with child welfare or another court-ordered program.
