Healthy Families Oregon

Healthy Families of the High Desert is a voluntary, free home visiting program. We work with eligible families prenatally or at birth, and can serve your family through your child’s 3rd year. Our philosophy is that YOU are the expert on your child. We will work together to identify your strengths, values, and wishes for your family. We will never tell you how to raise your children, that’s your decision. We’ll help you establish and complete parenting goals that YOU choose. We can help you:

Create a safe and nurturing environment in your home.
Make informed parenting choices that contribute to excellent family health and wellness.
Learn activities to do with your child that foster brain development and attachment.
Prepare your child to be school-ready.
Access community resources and educational opportunities.

Our program is modeled on research-based, proven practices that enhance infant mental health.
