You're a young parent, and even though you've been reminded a million times about how young you are, you know in your heart that you can be a great parent.
Now in Massachusetts, Healthy Families provides a free home visiting program for first time young parents (20 & under). A Home Visitor is someone you can trust who will get to know you and your baby and will help you build your parenting skills, answer questions you may not feel comfortable asking others, and work with you and your family to strengthen relationships.
They can also help you set goals and find the right services and programs for young parents in your community, like day care, health insurance, job placement agencies, continuing education, and more.
YOU GET TO DECIDE when and where you'd like to meet. You can start the home visits during your pregnancy and continue them up to your child's third birthday. With a Healthy Families Home Visitor by your side, you can find the support and information that will help you become the parent you want to be.
To find out more about Healthy Families services in your area, call toll-free in Massachusetts, 1-888-775-4KID, or contact your local Healthy Families Program Coordinator, as listed below. All services are free and confidential.
Healthy Families Community Website - This site provides answers to common parenting questions and concerns: from pregnancy, to caring for an infant, to parenting a toddler. The site also gives former Healthy Families participants and staff an opportunity to stay connected to the Healthy Families community by signing up for the website's mailing list.
