Why is the project needed?
This project will implement the firs initiative in Lithuania to help families, especially from vulnerable groups, to develop parenting skills, help create a safe environment for children, and change the 'cultural-historical' awareness of childcare and upbringing. This project will create a patient-centered service, raise awareness of families and take responsibility for the health and safety of their families and children. According to research, countries with family partnership programs have reduced smoking during the pregnancy up to 24%. The project is expected to reduce the risk of gestational hypertension in pregnant women by 27% and reduce the risk of preterm birth to 37 weeks by 28%. Experience in other countries shows that this model reduces 60% of neonatal mortality, 31% reduces the likelihood of a second pregnancy within 2 years after the first birth, shows 38% decease in cases when children are hospitalized due to injuries, and 31% less child abuse (4-15 years old), 46% decrease in youth (15-17 years) arrests for criminal activities.
