Healthy Families is a statewide, voluntary evidence-based home visiting program in all 92 counties of Indiana. There is 30+ agencies that “host” the Healthy Families program. For Shelby County, Healthy Families was previously housed under Family Services and Prevention Programs. Unfortunately, FSPP had to close their doors as an agency, but luckily The Villages was able to pick up the Healthy Families program for our county and avoid any gaps in services.
Healthy Families Mission: To promote supportive environments that optimize child growth and development and encourage resilient, healthy families. The vision is to provide a support system based on trust that allows parents and children to benefit most from reflective staff who build on parental competencies rather than lecturing to develop strengths for today and also for future generations.
