HFA Mom

from Georgia

It’s not only somebody I can talk to and confide in, but somebody who helps me be a better mom… [I am] learning how to better empathize with my child and to better understand him and his signals and his signs.”

What makes HFA unique?

Explore if HFA is the right fit for you and your community.

A relational health model

HFA embodies the cornerstones of healthy relationships. Once parents experience safety, predictability, comfort, and joy in a genuine way and in the context of a relationship with another, they are able to provide the same experience for their children.

Backed by strong evidence

HFA’s evidence is rigorous, with 40+ peer-reviewed published articles and 13+ randomized control trials by independent researchers.

Flexible to meet the unique needs of families and communities

Healthy Families was designed from the very beginning with flexibility in mind allowing every community the ability to tailor portions of the model to meet their needs and the needs of each family.

We embody the parallel process in our support of affiliates

Technical Assistance (TA) provided by the national office is collaborative, rather than directive and it is strength-based. National Office TA Specialists utilize the same values and reflective approach with sites that supervisors use with staff, and direct service staff use with families.
