DONATIONS ARE APPRECIATED
Healthy Home programs typically offer a combination of one-to-one interaction and case management with workshops and peer group discussions. Both approaches present challenges and opportunities for helping families get and stay on track! We've partnered with some of Texas' resources to aid in this.
Strategic Interventions
Adults often learn best by doing. Activities done in one-to-one or group sessions can give both parents (single or married) and children hands-on experience that they can apply outside the program.
Come be a part of our educational services which are on one-to-one or group sessions!
