Children & Families

Validated by decades of research, this nationally recognized child abuse prevention program provides support and education to new and expecting parents so that they can raise children who are safe, healthy and ready to succeed in school and in life. Through home visitation, skill-based curricula, and connections to community resources, families learn how to parent effectively, even in times of stress. Home visits are offered weekly, decreasing in frequency as parents become confident in their skills. Services begin prenatally or just after the birth of a baby and can continue until the child reaches school age.
