The New Parent Support Program (NPSP) was established by federal law in order to help build strong, healthy military families.

Program benefits are free of charge and are available to military families who are expecting, or who have a child or children up to three years of age.

The experienced registered nurses of the NPSP assist families through the transitions of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting children through the age of three years. Program participation is completely voluntary and confidential.
