Topic: Your Local Health and Social Services For this discussion, you are to identify and compile a list of resources available in YOUR community. The scenario: I am a single, unemployed mother of three children, ages six months, four years old and six years old. What medical, educational and social services programs are available to us? My six-year-old is struggling in first grade. (adapted from Marotz p. 52 – #4) Write the name of your community in the subject line. Hamden Connecticut
Please include where I can go with my children for the following; pediatric, well-child visits; vision screenings; hearing evaluation; speech assessments; oral health and mental health support. Are these screenings and visits provided free-of-charge or will they require that I pay? Are there options available for low-income families?
I’m also interested in employment and housing support.
Where can I go for nutritional advice for my children and me?
