Programs
Healthy Families Georgia
Healthy Families Georgia (HFG) is a continuum of services consisting of short-term support for all new families through First Steps and long-term voluntary home visitation for more vulnerable families of newborns.
Healthy Families Georgia is a collaborative effort of Prevent Child Abuse Georgia and the Governor's Office for Children and Families (GOCF). The program is unique because it brings together an initial connection with all new parents and voluntary home visitation for higher-risk new families.
Services are intensive, flexible, culturally sensitive, and cost-effective, with measurable outcomes. Families are visited for up to five years, with visits focusing on positive parent-child interaction, healthy child development, stronger family functioning, and appropriate community linkages.
