Atlantic City Healthy Families
About the program
Healthy Families Atlantic City is part of Healthy Families America, a national program model designed to help expectant and new parents get their children off to a healthy start.
Families participate voluntarily in the program and receive home visiting and referrals from trained staff. The Healthy Families program has three goals 1) to promote positive parenting, 2) to enhance child health and development and 3) to prevent child abuse and neglect.
The program uses a home visitation model in where trained professionals educate parents, in their own home, about such important issues as nutrition, child development, age appropriate discipline and health care. Home visits also enable staff to observe family relationships and monitor the child's development.
