Do you provide resources for children with special needs?
While we do not provide direct resources for children with special needs, we are committed to supporting families in any way we can. If you are facing parenting challenges related to your child’s special needs, we can provide guidance, support, and parenting education to help strengthen your protective factors. For more specialized services related to your child’s needs, we are happy to refer you to professionals and specialists who can provide the expertise your child requires. Our goal is to ensure that families have access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
Can grandparents or other caregivers access your services?
Yes, we provide services to any individual or family that is the guardian or parent of a child under the age of 18. This includes grandparents, foster parents, and other caregivers who are designed to support those in caregiving roles by providing resources, parenting education, and guidance to strengthen family dynamics and improve child development.
Do you offer resources for new parents?
Yes, we offer resources through our nationally accredited Healthy Families (HF) program. Enrollment in this program takes places before the baby turns three months old, and we can provide support until the child turns three.

Through regular home visits and personalized support, we aim to empower parents to feel confident and capable in their roles.

Most visits are conducted in the home and generally last about one hour, offering personalized, one-on-one assistance to help you navigate family dynamics and access resources. Regardless of the program, our goal is to ensure you have the support and tools needed to
