Every Baby Deserves a Healthy Family

Call to Action: 

Bring the Healthy Families Program to St. Mary’s County!

Healthy Families America (HFA) is a nationally recognized evidence-based home visiting program model designed to work with overburdened families who are at-risk for adverse childhood experiences, including child maltreatment.  It is the primary home visiting model best equipped to work with families who may have histories of trauma, intimate partner violence, mental health and/or substance abuse issues.

HFA services begin prenatally or right after the birth of a baby and are offered voluntarily, intensively and over the long-term (3 to 5 years after the birth of the baby). Because every child deserves a healthy family.

If your organization is interested in collaborating and pulling resources to launch this program in St. Mary’s County please contact [email protected].
