We all want what is best for our family and Healthy Starts at HCS is here to help.
The caring staff of the Healthy Starts team at HCS is here to partner with you to build a village of supports to help you thrive in this complicated world. The Healthy Starts team of social workers and home visitors are ready to find the answers you need, promote your strengths, and knock down those barriers that are in the way.
We will meet you where you are, at your pace, and with your priorities.
We will help to navigate that red tape, connect you to others who can help, and support you along the way. We know that bonding with your newborn or helping you recognize milestones in your child’s development are important to you. We understand that advocating for your teenager in school, at the doctors, or at home can feel overwhelming. And if you find yourself parenting for a second time around with your grandkids, our Kinship Navigator program will connect you to resources to help support you through this transition.
Healthy Starts at HCS is here for you through your lifespan. Don’t know where to start? Let’s get connected. Come in or call us at 603-352-2253 or fill out a referral below.
