Family & Community Services
Our home visit programs offer guidance and support to help you become the best parent or guardian you can be.
Through engaging, hands-on activities, you’ll learn about prenatal care, child development, and infant health and safety. These services also help identify developmental delays early and set the foundation for your child’s readiness and success in school.

Personalized Support for Parents & Guardians When They Need it Most
Our home visitation programs – Healthy Families and Parents as Teachers – bring parents and guardians early hands-on training to build their childcare knowledge and confidence, even before the child is born.
“I didn’t know anything about having my own baby, so I had a home visitor come in weekly and talk to me about child development and talk to me about what milestones my child can expect to meet, as well as just supporting me with resources. I was in the program for three years.”
“My Family Support Specialist helped me to stay strong and taught me how to have confidence. I had postpartum depression and without my Specialist’s help, I could not have made it through this challenging time.”
“I saw myself become more confident as a parent, more understanding & proud of what we’ve taught our child prior to & during the program.”
