The MCAH program works to improve the health and wellbeing of women, children, and families in Calaveras County. We provide support, resources, and services to help families thrive, from pregnancy through childhood and adolescence.

Our program uses the Parents as Teachers model, supports parents in understanding their child's growth and development while promoting positive parenting behaviors. The program activities help families improve their health and financial well-being, prepare children for school success, and strengthen connections within the community.
