The P.I.L.L.A.R. Program

Preventing Instability through Linkage, Learning, Access, and Resilience

The PILLAR Program is a family-centered support initiative for caregivers of children from birth to age 5 living in select Philadelphia zip codes. Caregivers meet with a Caregiver Support Coach monthly, both virtually and in-person. Visits are focused on parenting development, family well-being, and connection to helpful resources.

Are you a provider, case manager, or community leader? You can refer families to the PILLAR Program using our agency referral form. We welcome partnerships with healthcare providers, early childhood educators, doulas, and more.
