You may be preparing for the birth of a child, adjusting to life with a newborn, navigating parenting challenges, experiencing stress or isolation, or seeking support and resources to help their child thrive. HFI provides early support, education, and connections to community resources to families before challenges become crises. 

A variety of community partners refer families to HFI, such as hospitals, healthcare providers, WIC, DCS, early childhood programs, and outreach events. But your participation is always voluntary and free of charge.

We work with families early, during pregnancy or shortly after birth, before parenting challenges become crises. Rather than requiring you to come to an office, a trained family support specialist will meet you in your home or other community setting and tailor services to your family’s strengths, goals, and needs. 

For more than 80 years, Bethany’s mission has been protecting children, empowering youth, and strengthening families. Other ways we’re supporting Indiana children and families beyond HFI include post-adoption support, Parents and Children Together (PACT), foster care, and short-term immigrant foster care.
