Healthy Families West Piedmont home visitors support parents as they establish nurturing parent-child relationships, develop positive parenting skills, provide safe homes, and learn to support healthy child development. Families work to reduce risks and build resiliency so that they can raise healthy children who are ready to learn. Families are typically referred prenatally or at the time of the baby's delivery. Families will receive an initial visit, during which their strengths and needs are identified. A determination is then made about whether Healthy Families or other services in the community are right for them. Families are voluntarily connected to community resources they prefer. Healthy Families West Piedmont is a good fit for parents with multiple stressors, such as single parenthood; low income; limited knowledge about infant and child development; history of abuse or adverse childhood experiences; personal trauma; and issues related to substance abuse, mental health, and/or domestic violence. Families who do best in the program are willing to receive at least one home visit per week for the first six months after the baby's birth. After that the frequency is determined by their needs and progress. Families have the choice to receive services until the child's fifth birthday. Families must enroll prenatally or within three months of birth. There are no income restrictions.
