Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program 

​

The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program provides home-visiting and case-management services to families whose children have elevated blood-lead levels, and live in Berkshire, Franklin, or Hampshire County.
 
The program aims to lower lead levels in exposed children under the age of six by offering support to families as they go through the process of retesting and remediation, and it strives to make environments safe for the young children who live in them.

In addition to families, the Community Health Worker collaborates with health care professionals, homeowners, landlords, realtors, and other community stakeholders with the goal of eliminating childhood lead exposure as a public health problem.
