Last week, we celebrated families who graduated from our Healthy Families America (HFA) program. Parents shared stories of resilience, growth, and perseverance. From navigating a child's serious health condition to buying a first home to becoming a citizen, HFA was there every step of the way! HFA is a national evidence-based maternal and child home-visiting service that pairs expectant mothers or families with newborns with a family support worker. Services are free and available to the family until the child’s fourth birthday. Learn more about this program: https://lnkd.in/eJJFJfDT Support our work: https://lnkd.in/eETfrTk

#ProTip from our teachers: use an old ice cube tray to hold paint. It makes clean-up easy. Your donation today helps us invest in learning materials both inside and outside the classroom that just make sense! https://lnkd.in/eMfzDBTw
