We are excited to share information with you about our Healthy Families of Benton County program. We are a FREE nurturing parenting program, who works with underserved teen and young parents in home based settings and groups to build healthy and positive interaction among family members.
We serve parents between the age of 12 and 24 who live in Benton County. To enroll in the program the mother must be pregnant or have a child 3 months of age or under. Families can stay in the program until the child is 3 years old.
We provide the following services:
• Information and education on child development, including developmental screenings
• Instruction on nurturing, guidance, and behavior management of children
• Information on creating safe environments for children
• Nutrition information and guidance for baby and parent
• Focus on positive bonding relationships between parent and child
• Help connecting to community resources
• Family goal setting (both short term & long term)
• Fun monthly group events
• Community of parents
• Physical resources during weekly visits (such as diapers and other essentials)
We look forward to providing young mothers, fathers, and their children a chance to be empowered with the tools and skills to be a parent. We currently have open spots for families & parents to join. Let us help fill your parenting tool box and strengthen the skills you already have!
