Danita Roberts
Training & TA Specialist
Danita Roberts is a Training and TA Specialist with Healthy Families America. Prior to this she served as the Program Manager/ Supervisor for a Healthy Families Program in Providence, RI and was also an HFA Peer Reviewer and member of the HFA REaCH Committee. Danita graduated from Wheelock College with a Human Development degree and a Child Life concentration.
Originally, she thought that she wanted to work to promote development and attachment within a hospital setting; however, after taking a job in Early Intervention, she realized that seeing people in their homes was an opportunity to understand and support them more holistically. A little later, when she found HFA, she realized that a program specifically designed to promote attachment and bonding through the fostering of relationships was what she had been looking for this whole time.
Still located in Providence, RI, Danita lives with her teenage daughter and twin boys. She continues to work to support the home visiting workforce in RI by serving as the Board President for RI’s Infant Mental Health Association.
