Learn about what Nemours Health & Prevention Services is doing to build healthy communities through policy change and advocacy.

Nemours Health & Prevention Services (NHPS), based in Newark, Delaware, works with families and community partners to help children grow up healthy.

Our goal is to aid in the implementation of policies and practices outside of the clinical environment that promote child health.

We reach children in a variety of settings—where they live, learn, and play—throughout their childhood years, from birth through adolescence.

Focus on Childhood Obesity

Nemours is taking a leading role to help people understand the causes and health implications of obesity and to promote healthier lifestyles among children and families.

Our initial area of emphasis is childhood obesity prevention, the centerpiece of which is 5-2-1-Almost None, our formula for a healthy lifestyle.

Focus on Emotional & Behavioral Health

Nemours wants all adults to have access to helpful options for handling and nurturing healthy emotions and behaviors in young children.

Our second area of focus is emotional and behavioral health during early childhood - birth to age five.  We provide training and education to teachers and parents on how to build resiliency in children as well as how to teach them how to act and think in healthy ways.
