WIC One-to-One Education, Consultation and Referral

With funding from the Michigan Maternal and Child Health program, Public Health – Muskegon County is able to provide individual based education and referral services for WIC enrollees. At a client’s request, community education staff meets with a WIC family to discuss and provide proper referral to community resources, helping to meet individual needs. Average consultation time is 15 minutes. All families receive a gift for participating. This service is free to any WIC enrolled family. This program does not replace WIC educational requirements. It is intended to enhance the education and referral process.

Topics for discussion and referral include, but are not limited to:

• Enrollment in a Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP) or Pathways to Healthy Pregnancy
• Oral Health Recommendations for Children and Pregnant Women
• Medical Home and Preventative Care Recommendations for Children
• Lead Poisoning
• Safe Sleep
• Home Safety
• Depression and/or Anxiety
• Tobacco, E-Cigarette, Vaping
• Alcohol and Other Drugs
