Healthy Families America provides Benton County parents with a Family Support Worker who will partner with you and help your family towards goals that assist you in becoming self-sufficient.  The program assists in identifying your strengths, needs and goals and will help you access resources in the community, advocate for your family, help find affordable housing, childcare, and transportation and assist with parenting, budgeting and time management.  A family needs to have at least one child age pre-natal through 5 years old. The family has to have experienced past or present violence, neglect or abuse within the home and be committed to meeting with the Family Support Worker on a regular basis.  A referral to the program can be made through the Horizons Family Support Program.  For more information please contact:  Lori Hagg, Horizons Family Support Worker at 319-472-3362 (office) or 319/241-4072 (cell)
