Healthy Families

Welcoming a new baby is exciting but can also be overwhelming. The Healthy Families program at The Villages of Indiana walks alongside parents during pregnancy and the early years, offering encouragement, trusted guidance, and practical support so your baby can have the strongest possible start. 

Why Healthy Families?

Parenting is one of life’s greatest joys and one of its biggest challenges. You don’t have to figure it out alone. 

Healthy Families is a free program that connects parents with up-to-date information about child development, helpful community resources, and a caring professional who listens, supports, and celebrates each milestone with you. 

How Healthy Families Supports You

Families enrolled in the program receive regular, voluntary home visits starting during pregnancy or within 90 days after birth. A trained Family Support Worker (FSW) provides personalized support based on your goals and needs. Services are offered at no cost and can continue until your child turns 3 and potentially up to age 5 depending on needs. 

During visits, families receive guidance and support with: 

  • Understanding and responding to your baby’s needs 
  • What to expect as your child grows and develops 
  • Simple ways to play and bond to support healthy development 
  • Creating a safe home environment 
  • Problem-solving and stress management strategies 
  • Budgeting and financial planning 
  • Continuing education and employment options 
  • Transportation resources 
  • Connections to helpful community services 

Who Can Participate?

You may be eligible if you are: 

  • Pregnant, or 
  • The parent of a newborn younger than 75 days old 

Healthy Families is voluntary, supportive, and focused on helping you feel confident as you grow your family.
