The CAFCL’s, Healthy Families Program, is dedicated to empowering families and caregivers to foster the healthy development of children during their early years, but not limited to!
Help us Stuff-a-Truck during the Diaper Drive Event this September!
Diapers are a critical part of every baby’s life, but they come at a high cost. Diapers in need, might not be a widely discussed issue, but it is a pressing one. Many families find themselves facing this challenge, often silently.
Consider these eye-opening facts. 1 in 3 families struggles with diaper need. Babies will use more than 2,500 diapers during their 1st year; costing up to $1,200! That’s $100 a month for just diapers. This expense can quickly add up and become overwhelming for families already working hard to make ends meet. Lack of access to clean diapers can lead to severe health issues for babies, and hinder parent’s ability to work, attend school, or access childcare. CAFCL, Healthy Families works in partnership with agencies, organizations, and other non-profits. These agencies play a crucial role in identifying families facing diaper need and distributing the diapers directly to them. This ensures that the assistance reaches those who need it most. Your participation in this diaper drive will have a profound impact on lives in ways you’d never imagine.
The Healthy Families Program offers prenatal and parenting support services from 0-6 years of age; cultivating strong, secure relationships between caregivers and children – the fundamentals to healthy development. The program focuses on cultivating secure attachment relationships, promoting early childhood development and addressing specific needs of families within their homes. The home visitation facilitators work closely with families, providing personalized support to nurture healthy child development. Through tailored home visitation services, our goals include cultivating nurturing, responsive parent-child relationships; building strong foundations for family functioning; promoting healthy childhood growth and development; supporting prenatal care and its crucial role in a healthy pregnancy and enhancing protective factors that support your family’s well-being. PCAP extends specialized support to individuals confronting substance use and other health or social issues. Home visitation facilitators provide personalized services over three years, guiding participants and families through these challenges with compassion and expertise.
The Healthy Families program welcomes referrals from everyone – individuals, parents or families seeking support; doctors, public health nurses, social workers, teachers, prenatal instructors and community agencies. The services are voluntary and provided at no charge, ensuring accessibility for all families in our community. We support families in the Camrose and County, Beaver and Flagstaff County, MD’s of Wainwright and Provost. For more information – Contact CAFCL @ 780-672-0257 or visit www.cafcl.ca.
