Healthy Families
Supporting Parents from the Start
We recognize how challenging and stressful parenthood can be. Healthy Families is a voluntary, nationally accredited program that promotes child well-being by helping parents build strong bonds and nurturing relationships with their children beginning during pregnancy through the first five years of a child’s life.
If you have a child between 1 month and 6 years old, you can use a free and confidential online tool to learn more about your child’s development. Simply answer a few questions about your child’s growth and everyday activities. The results can help you understand your child’s strengths and identify resources or supports that may be helpful. Every child develops at their own pace, and there are no right or wrong answers. Visit the Oregon Screening Project to use their free online tool.
For families expecting or with children under 3, the home-based Early Head Start program offers weekly home visits and twice-monthly group gatherings year-round.
