ABOUT US

In 1985, an intense home visitation demonstration project was initiated in Hawaii in response to the alarmingly rising incidents of child abuse and neglect. It proved to have a remarkable effect not only on preventing child abuse and neglect, but also showed potential for promoting healthy childhoods.
 
Learning of this promising new program, Prevent Child Abuse America and the Ronald McDonald Children's Charities launched the Healthy Families America Initiative. It's purpose was to assist all states in developing intensive home visitation programs. Today, Healthy Families programs are present in all but 11 states. There are more than 400 sites across the country. In 2000, Healthy Families programs reached more than 33,000 families nationwide.*
