A Mother's Journey to Healing

The South Puget Intertribal Planning Agency in Shelton, Washington has been implementing Tribal Home Visiting since 2012 in Chehalis, Nisqually, Skokomish, and Squaxin Island tribes and two urban sites in Kitsap and Pierce counties. The vision of the Healthy Families program is to support the development of happy, healthy, and successful families. The program’s culturally responsive practices aim to break the cycle of toxic stress and provide inspiration and hope to families and the community. This video highlights a mother’s journey to healing and how it empowered her to rebuild supportive relationships for herself and her children.

ACF's Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program awards grants to tribal entities to develop, implement, and evaluate home visiting programs in American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. The grants help build and strengthen tribal capacity to support and promote the health and well-being of AIAN families, expand the evidence base around home visiting in tribal communities, and support and strengthen cooperation and linkages between programs that serve tribal children and their families.
