Helping Children And Families Across the country, people are coming together to make their communities and neighborhoods better places for children and families. Aware of the issues families face every day, these citizens are taking part in an ongoing process of developing goals for their communities and working on strategies that will help achieve those goals. They realize that an investment in our children's early years will pay huge dividends to our society.
People are tired of the problems they see and hear about every day in their communities.
Many feel helpless when faced with social problems such as crime, domestic violence, drugs, welfare dependency, and the lack of high quality child care and health care. However, others are committed to making a difference. Faced with an economic downturn in the early 1990s, Hampton's leaders, along with members of the community, decided that their town's future depended on strong families. They created a vision of Hampton as a family-oriented community. Visit the The Healthy Families Partnership website for more information.
