A Healthy Families worker will come to your home to listen to your concerns, answer questions about child development, proper nutrition, or discuss parenting strategies.
What are the goals: The goals of trained Healthy Families workers are to (1) promote positive parenting, (2) enhance child health and development and (3) prevent child abuse and neglect. Visits occur anywhere from once a month to several times a week, depending on family needs.
Note: The Healthy Families programs in all four counties have been credentialed by Healthy Families America, which means they have achieved mastery of 12 critical elements of effective home visitation.
Let our Healthy Families workers meet with you
face to face and heart to heart.
