Join Us for Our 7th Annual Community Baby Shower!

Building Healthy Families is a program designed to help you be the best parent you can be! From pregnancy to kindergarten, we will support you with the changes and challenges of parenting by offering information, fun activities and resources that strengthen parent-child bonds, foster happy childhoods, and help you reach your family goals. 

Our goals are to:

• Enhance the health and development of your entire family
• Reduce the stress that comes with being a parent
• Strengthen the bond between you and your child
• Support your independence

A new baby is a stressful experience! We're here to take some of the pressure off, and help promote a positive relationship between you and your child. Learn how you and your partner can benefit from our free services.
