NURTURING SELF-RELIANCE
A healthy family begins with healthy individuals. An integral portion of the DRUM Healthy Families’ philosophy is the importance of individuals and families being given the opportunity, resources and support to achieve their self-identified goals. Self-reliance promotes independence and it allows individuals to make healthy proactive choices and decisions. To that end, families that participate in DRUM Healthy Families’ program are given access to interactive educational training, supportive services, and referrals that strengthen the family’s foundation and promote self-reliance. Among the support provided that promote self-reliance are job skills training, economic empowerment training, and educational referrals and self-improvement workshops.
Our services are designed to holistically address the needs of parents in order to support their transition from pregnancy to parenting, as well as improve the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy, birth, and overall child safety and development.
