According to the Alameda County Public Health Department, over 500 Native American babies are born in our county each year. With our colleagues at the Strong Families Tribal Home Visiting Project, we have worked with more than 50 of these children in the past two years, meeting with them weekly or biweekly from pregnancy through age three.

We are part of the extended family for urban Native Americans in this county.
