Written By Bridges Homeward

We are pleased to announce that our Family Support & Stabilization program will now run the Children’s Trust’s Healthy Families program for the cities of Chelsea, East Boston, Revere, Winthrop, and Charlestown! Healthy Families Massachusetts, an affiliate of Healthy Families America®, is a free and voluntary support program for first-time parents age 23 and under. Young parents across Massachusetts can sign up for the program during pregnancy and continue up to the child’s third birthday. 

We are looking to hire three Healthy Families Home Visitors to support young parents! This position requires a high school diploma, and lived experience as a young parent is preferred. Click here to read more and apply today!  

Our Healthy Families Program offers young parents: 

  • Free and voluntary home visits with an experienced home visitor. Typically, visits happen more frequently during your baby’s first months. 

  • Child development information: what to expect as a new parent 

  • Education and career support 

  • Referrals to helpful services in your community, like day care, health insurance, job placement agencies, continuing education, WIC, and more 

  • Connections with other young parents 

  • Family-focused social events and outings 

If you’d like to sign up or learn more, call us at 617-876-4210 or email our Family Support & Stabilization program at FSSReferrals@bridgeshomeward.org.
