Healthy Families Program Of Martin County

The Healthy Families Program, a division of Baby Steps, offers support to parents who are experiencing stressful life situations.  Through intensive home visitation, services are offered to promote positive parent-child relationships, healthy child development, problem-solving skills, as well as linkages to health and other support services families may need.  Services may start prior to or shortly after the birth of a baby and can continue until the child's fifth birthday.  The program promotes positive parent-child interaction and school readiness.  Services include parenting support and guidance, developmental monitoring, and linkages to other community resources.
