Affiliate Benefits

You, our affiliate network of passionate Healthy Families America (HFA) folks around the world, are why we do what we do. Learn more about how we support you and how to access the resources you need.

How We Support You

Technical Assistance & Support

Support is offered by experienced staff, via telephone, email, or webinar to support planning, development, implementation, and accreditation of the HFA model based on the best practice standards. On-site assistance is also available if needed.

Training & Professional Development

All affiliates can access comprehensive in-person training from certified HFA trainers for family resource specialists (assessment staff), family support specialists (home visitors), supervisors, and program managers. Ongoing training opportunities and web-based training opportunities are also available to affiliates.

Research, Evaluation & Data Collection

Affiliates will learn about HFA’s strong research base and receive support in undertaking any research and evaluation opportunities of their own. Additionally, affiliates will receive reports annually, which compare key elements of their programming to national and state trends.

Capacity Building

HFA has dedicated staff for analysis of federal public policy proposals that impact home visiting, child abuse prevention, and the families we serve in our communities. HFA also offers support in state-systems development and in seeking legislative and public support for prevention.

Marketing & Communications

All affiliates receive print-ready logos in various colors and file types. Additionally, the HFA national office is continually developing resources for local sites to use as they advocate for their families and continued programming.

National Advisory Groups

To ensure the HFA national office is responsive to the changing needs and challenges of the network and that policy and procedures are implemented effectively, advisory committees (made up of individuals from the HFA network) create a two-way dialogue that prioritizes the best interest of the network.
