Healthy Families Program (OCFS)

 

CAMBA’s Healthy Families Program started in 1996 and reaches out to pregnant or newly parenting families living in Flatbush, Brooklyn’s zip code 11226.  The program identifies financial or emotional stress or other family risk factors that may exist at the time of pregnancy and birth.  In cases where the family is determined to need additional support, they are offered voluntary home visiting services.  Home visits focus on parent/child interaction, effective parent/child bonding, and overall family support.  Families must enroll during the prenatal stage or before their child is three months old.  These services can continue until the child’s fifth birthday.  Healthy Families Program currently serves 180 families per year.  In July 2007 the Healthy Families Initiative program received funding from NYC DOH and the Healthy Start Brooklyn Project.  The funding allowed the Healthy Families Program to expand its home visiting services to 40 additional families in zip code 11233 in June 2009.
