Hand to Hand Collaborative

The Hand to Hand Collaborative provides home visitation and center-based services to high-need Asian and African-American families who may be reluctant to participate in community programs. The program is designed to strengthen attachment between parents and children, increase parent bonding, reduce isolation, and empower families to use community resources. Statistics show that children under the age of one have the highest number of substantiated child maltreatment allegations in Contra Cost County, and that number is growing. We believe that as their children’s first teachers, parents of newborns deserve extra support to help care for and nurture each new family member.
