Healthy Families
Healthy Families is based on a nationwide model of home visitation
services designed to help expectant and new parents get their children
off to a healthy start. The program promotes positive parenting and
child health and development. For more information about this program, visit their Web site.
Parents Anonymous
Parents Anonymous groups are valuable for parents who want to improve
relationships with their children. Parents learn better parenting and
coping skills from other parents, in part by discovering strengths
within themselves. They, in turn, can share their techniques and
successes with other parents. The groups meet weekly, are
professionally facilitated and offer free child care. For more
information, visit the Parents Anonymous of South Carolina, Inc. Web site.
Child Welfare Information Gateway
A service of the Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and
Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Child Welfare Information Gateway promotes the safety, permanency,
and well-being of children, youth, and families by connecting child
welfare, adoption, and related professionals as well as the general
public to information, resources, and tools covering topics on child
welfare, child abuse and neglect, out-of-home care, adoption, and more.
