Family Wellness

Early support for our youngest community members.

Family Wellness identifies and supports the social-emotional needs of children from birth to age 5 — within the context of their family and community. Practitioners partner with parents, guardians, and staff to recognize early emotional needs in children enrolled in CommUnify’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs, with support tailored to meet each child and family’s situation.
