LAUNCH
Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children’s Health
What is LAUNCH?
LAUNCH is designed to connect you with resources and services to help support your child’s growth and development. This program is offered at no charge to all Amoskeag Health patients with children 0-8 years of age.
​
LAUNCH is a clinic-based program, which means our "LAUNCH Navigators" work directly with parents and caregivers to discover and navigate local resources for childcare assistance, food access, housing assistance, and more. We provide referrals and set up ongoing support to make sure you have everything you need.

Caregiver Engagement
Caregivers are a child’s first and most important teachers. That’s why our LAUNCH program offers fun and helpful ways for parents, grandparents, and other caregivers to connect, learn, and grow.

Amoskeag Health supports families by offering free, family-friendly activities throughout the community. We host Parent Cafés and participate in resource fairs and events with local partners like the Manchester Library and the International Institute of New England. Our goal is to create spaces where parents can connect with each other, learn about child development, and find helpful support and services.​
