Healthy Families
Healthy, happy families are key to any community. At Child & Family Resources, we strive to provide Arizona parents with the resources they need to welcome a happy, healthy new baby into the world.
Getting through pregnancy and the phases of early childhood can be challenging, yet these months represent a crucial time in a child’s development. Our Family Support Specialists – who themselves are often parents – visit you weekly in your own home to give you support and share resources, at no cost to you.
Note: Funding for this program is provided at no cost to clients thanks to funding from grants and donations.
