Healthy Families: An Infant-Parent Development Program

Part of the Metro Alliance for Healthy Families, the Infant-Parent Development Program is designed for expecting and/or new parents (ages 13 and older) who are impacted by significant stressors including, but not limited to: financial stressors, stressful relationships, mental health concerns, and chemical health concerns.

• Access to community resources

Healthy Families is a voluntary program and families can stay enrolled for up to four years. There is no cost to participate.
