One of the most vexing problems facing society is how to help families break the cycle of poverty. Turns out, part of the solution may involve nurses. There’s a program that uses nurses to teach at-risk moms parenting skills. For 30 years, the Nurse Family Partnership has shown strong results. Only one North Carolina county has had the program – Guilford. But now it’s expanding to seven more counties around the state. Rose Hoban reports.
