A Strong Start for Your Baby

Parenting is one of life’s greatest joys, as well as one of its biggest challenges. Healthy Families is a free program that connects you with up-to-date child development info, helpful community resources, and a caring professional who supports and celebrates every milestone with you.

Families enrolled receive regular, voluntary home visits starting during pregnancy or within 90 days after birth. A trained Family Support Worker provides personalized guidance based on your goals — at no cost, for as long as your child needs it (up to age 3, and potentially age 5).

Support covers:

  • Understanding and responding to your baby’s needs
  • Child development and growth milestones
  • Play and bonding activities
  • Creating a safe home environment
  • Problem-solving and stress management
  • Budgeting and financial planning
  • Continuing education and employment options
  • Transportation and community service connections

Is This for Your Family?

You may be eligible if you’re 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 your family grows.
