Home Visiting Is Essential

Now, more than ever, home visiting is an essential service for families. Social isolation and families living in cramped conditions can lead to increases in domestic violence and child maltreatment. Home visitors can help mitigate these situations by maintaining contact with families and providing support.

Advocate for Home Visiting

HFA improves families’ economic self-sufficiency, strengthening our communities.

HFA reduces juvenile delinquency, family violence, and crime.

HFA can dramatically improve child development and school readiness.

HFA increases positive parenting practices and improves child and maternal health.

We help parents bring out the best in themselves by tapping into the skills they already possess.

Our services empower parents to help children develop the social, emotional, and cognitive skills they need to succeed in life.

HFA is always free of charge—and always completely voluntary.

Families who enroll in HFA receive the support they need based on their specific circumstances.

Culturally respectful support is available to families in more than 40 languages (based on individual community capacity).

We help parents develop and achieve goals related to what is most important to them, whether it’s school, work, housing, childcare, health, relationships, or other life skills.

 

There is no better program, dollar-for-dollar,
than Healthy Families America.

Raecine & Raylan’s Story

I didn’t know how to raise a kid. I needed help. I didn’t know where to go. I’m an only child myself, so raising a boy, I had no clue…[Healthy Families America] changed my life to the nth degree—to the point that I wanted to finish school just for him, to have a better life for him, to show him that you can overcome anything.

See How HFA Helped

Scot, Brenda & ‘Mr. Anthony’

What [home visitor] Betsy brings every week is tailored to Anthony and where he is developmentally at that time. They come to where you’re comfortable and where the baby is comfortable, and give you tools and information you can use right away…Betsy has her own nurturing and strategic style of playing with Mr. Anthony, which helps us learn the skills to work with him. Plus, she gives Brenda and me different things to do based on our parenting styles. You can’t get that at the hospital, a school, or the library.

Healthy Families Athens

I’ve learned a lot from this program…it’s not only somebody I can talk to and confide in, but somebody that helps me be a better mom…learning how to better empathize with my child, and better understand him and his signals and his signs, and that helps with me being able to help him.
