Why Healthy Families?
Parenting is the most difficult and important job anyone can have. All parents need support and encouragement, and we believe that parents have the right to voice their own needs and determine what services and programs are best suited to help them.
By connecting parents with the most current information on how babies grow, change, and develop, we can help ensure they start on the right foot and grow into a healthy childhood.
Each Healthy Families parent will be provided information and education about:
-
Prenatal information focusing on a healthy pregnancy
-
Child development information, developmental milestones, and activities to promote parent/child interaction
-
Developmental screens for children
-
Ideas for baby proofing and nutrition
-
Support for understanding the normal stress of parenting
-
Referrals to community resources
