Natural Helper

The Natural Helper program is our original child abuse prevention program providing in-home parenting education, individualized support and a variety of specialized services to address many challenges facing today’s families. We assist expecting families, or families with at least one child under the age of three, in overcoming obstacles and gaining self-sufficiency in order to ensure an enriched and nurturing home environment for their children. The Natural Helper program empowers families through home-based support to strengthen family relationships, create healthy parent/child bond, increase home safety, and enhance the development of children.
