Two Rivers Public Health Department

Did you know, 40% of men won’t talk about their mental health? Below are a selection of survey results highlighting why some men are so hesitant. Be the person that reaches out and opens the door for support. If you don't know where to start give our office a call. #HFNTR

Men are often expected to stay strong and silent, even when they are struggling. A simple check-in can open the door to connections. Sometimes knowing someone cares leads to asking for help. FSSs care and are here to support all caregivers, including men. #HFNTR

HFA’s mechanism for change is rooted in building healthy, trusting relationships between supervisors and home visitors, between home visitors and parents and between parents and children. We call this the parallel process and it is vital to HFA’s success. #HFNTR

Healthy Families was designed from the very beginning with flexibility in mind, allowing every community to tailor portions of the model to meet their needs based on the needs of each family. Refer a family here: tinyurl.com/yvrhk4ya #HFNTR

3 key principles make HFA stand out: o Recognizing that our developing relationship with a family is the conduit to service delivery o Knowing how trauma impacts the way that adults perceive the world o Supporting staff to reflect upon how their feelings impact their work. #HFNTR

HFA strengthens parent-child relationships, promotes healthy child development, and enhances family well-being. For example, rigorous studies show: fewer low birth weights, reduction in maltreatment, reduction in special ed. services, fewer & HFA families are homeless #HFNTR

Yesterday, some of our home visitation team members wore blue to show their support for children and families. Blue represents possibility, strength, and the future families deserve. #HFNTR #PreventionMatters

By supporting families, home visiting programs improve outcomes in health, child development, education, and employment. These improved outcomes for parents and children reduce future costs in mental health, special education, child welfare and criminal justice. #HFNTR

Today we celebrate the built-in best friends, role models, and lifelong teammates—siblings. Through HFNTR, our FSSs work alongside families to strengthen these connections—offering guidance to support positive interactions between siblings. #NationalSiblingsDay #HFNTR

Home visiting creates connections between parents and community health practitioners and addresses the social drivers of health that affect maternal well-being, such as parental stress, social support, access to health care, income, housing, and transportation. #HFNTR

HFA home visitors, called Family Support Specialists, are trained professionals who partner with families to provide support from pregnancy through their children’s first years of life. HFA home visitors and parents collaborate to set meaningful and attainable goals. #HFNTR

FSSs bring gentle support to every visit, helping families build simple self‑care moments that make each day feel lighter. Let us know how you plan on taking care of yourself today! #HFNTR
