Healthy Families –

Healthy Families of Starke County is a no-cost home visiting program that gives eligible families the opportunity to get off to a “right start” in the care and well-being of their newborn...and their households, in general.

In the area of childcare, a Family Support Worker is assigned especially to your family and provides helpful information, guidance, and assistance in an array of ways – from monitoring your baby’s growth and development to checking immunizations, teaching parenting skills, and assisting families in setting and reaching goals when it comes to raising happy, healthy children. Education classes, such as CPR, household budgeting, and first aid, are held on a monthly basis. A weekly support group gives parents the opportunity to share parenting experience and information with their peers.

Families can participate in the Healthy Families program for up to five years, after which your Family Support Worker helps transition your child into a “school” routine and educates parents on the importance of continued participation in their child’s home and school life.

For more information about Healthy Families of Starke County or to find out if your family is eligible, call 574.772.2962.
