Claudia Garrison, supervisor of NOAH’s Healthy Families program, along with NOAH Executive Director Thomas Roberts, shared words of encouragement with the families and asked each one of them to always be the best mothers they can be.

The families are referred to the program mainly by physicians and because they live in the targeted areas of Pahokee, Canal Point, Belle Glade and South Bay.

Healthy Families works with families lead by low-income, single mothers; mothers with histories of domestic violence; and teenage or older mothers who have been in abusive relationships. Family Support workers visit the families’ homes on a regular basis and offer a variety of parenting tips and support, such as how to bond with children, how to potty train, change diapers and the importance of reading to children.
