Healthy Families Program
Are you pregnant or a new parent and not only want to parent, but be the best parent you can be? Healthy Families Program provides a unique visitation program that helps you have the tools you need to parent through those first few years. Our home visitors provide weekly home visitation that includes unique tools and resources to engage you and your baby. This fun learning environment enables you to gain information concerning all aspects of parenting, while enabling your child to reach those important building blocks for every stage of development.
Parents As Teachers
Parents as Teachers (PAT), our newest program, offers free, voluntary in-home visits available to families throughout pregnancy until the child enters kindergarten (usually at age 5). The program views parents as their child’s first teacher and each personal visit focuses on parent-child interaction, development-centered parenting and family well-being.
Relative Caregiver Program
Life can be full of surprises! Do you find yourself raising a grandchild or extended family member? It can be a challenge to start over on this journey; sometimes with little or no additional resources to provide for that child. Relative Caregiver Program provides an incredible support system that includes regular visits, group activities, educational opportunities and referral services for needs that may arise.
Empower & Support
Empowering individuals facing complex challenges by providing comprehensive case management services, connecting them to vital resources and support networks, and self-sufficiency within their community.
Rural Healthcare Resiliency Program
Funded by the Tennessee Department of Health, the Rural Healthcare Resiliency Program is an initiative to improve healthcare access and outcomes to rural and underserved communities.
The Center for Family Development is proud to announce it is
a recipient of the T-Mobile Hometown Grant.
