Overview

Mission

Healthy Family Initiatives leads communities in developing solutions to eradicate child abuse and neglect.

What it reported doing in 2010

The Healthy Families Houston Program: Our longest running program, Healthy Families Houston is a comprehensive primary prevention program for strengthening at-risk families. This voluntary program, offered at no charge, accepts families either pre-natally or at the birth of a child, and provides intensive-home-based services for a period of up to five years. The program's goal is to remove the risk for child abuse and neglect by nurturing a child's comprehensive developmental needs during the critical earliest years, ensuring consistent, timely and appropriate medical care for the child and family, and fostering increasing self-sufficiency for the family.Positive outcomes of the program include timely immunizations and wellness checks for children, improved parenting skills, dramatic increase in parent employment and education, reduction in domestic violence, greater social interaction within the community and virtually no reports of child abuse and neglect. HFI currently partners with several other human service organizations and agencies, among which are the Houston City Health Department, and the local College Bound Collaborative Initiative, to train staff and integrate these important services, thereby beginning to reach significantly greater numbers of families who will benefit from the comprehensive approach of the model.
