Project: Healthy Families Livingston seeks to expand the existing home visiting program to focus on an enhanced prevention project entitled Dads Make a Difference (DMD). DMD will target 100 fathers and their families to help dads understand infant and child development, participate positively in the lives of their child, manage child behavior in nurturing and effective ways, and work cooperatively with their child's mother to promote a healthy environment for their child.

Project: The Healthy Family Livingston (HFL) program will expand the existing 12-week Steven Bavolek Nurturing Parenting Program by offering two 12-week programs for an expanded audience. The HFL program will improve family functioning by promoting the presence of "nurturing" and teaching five constructs of nurturing: empathy, appropriate developmental expectations, positive discipline, appropriate parent and child roles, and power and independence.
