What to Expect From Healthy Families

Our Family Support Specialists offer ongoing in-home support through welcoming baby visits. Team members help assess your baby and its progress, provide parenting support, and connect you to needed resources.

During home visits, your family’s values are honored. Trained staff empower parents to grow nurturing parent-child relationships, build on your strengths, and encourage you to learn about child development.

In this voluntary program, families choose to participate in these ongoing home visits for 6 months or longer, depending on what you need and want. Visits can continue until your child is 3 years old.

No assumptions, no judgement

You can bring your fears, emotions, worries, concerns, questions, and more to us. We know parenting can make life chaotic, and we’ll be there to validate what you are feeling and care for you.

Lots of encouragement!

We are always looking for and celebrating those moments of joy between parents and their kids, and we want to help bring that to your life as well.

Access to community supports

We are well-informed about other resources in our community, and if there is a resource that can help meet your needs, we will connect you with them, including the family of CSC services. If you have questions we don’t know the answer to, we will learn alongside you and grow together.

We Love Healthy Families

The Healthy Families program is shown to increase children’s readiness for school by helping families raise securely attached, curious children who continue to learn and grow when they reach kindergarten.

Goals of this program include:

  • Increasing positive health outcomes for children and families.
  • Reducing the incidence of child abuse and neglect.
  • Building trusting, nurturing relationships with parents.
  • Teaching parents to identify strengths and utilize problem-solving skills.
  • Improving the family’s support system through referrals to community resources.

Give your child a healthy start in life!
