“Healthy families provides in-home visits by family support workers to overburdened parents of newborns. Staff offer parenting education, support, and information on community resources for up to 4 years after the birth of a child. Families receiving intensive home visiting are more likely to be linked to a medical provider (currently 98%) and have children fully immunized; they are much less likely to have a repeat teen pregnancy (currently just 1 out of 37 participating teens) or substantiated abuse or neglect. Over 130 families at risk for abuse/neglect received thousands of home visits in our latest reporting year. One young mom told us that her family support worker is a blessing in her life, listens to her and builds her confidence, helps her find solutions for her problems, and inspires her to be a better parent and person.”
