 ealthy Families
Yakima welcomes you. Every family will experience stress at some time
that tests its ability to stay together, care for its members in healthy
ways, and continue to function in the future as a family unit. Families
are fragile in our valley today. We are a coalition joining together to
serve our valley by mobilizing resources to create an environment that
enriches, equips and supports healthy relationships, marriages, and families
and fosters responsible fatherhood.
Healthy Families Yakima began with a dedicated group of people working
in many settings—from nonprofit to government agencies and businesses
and faith-based groups, all who saw a need to unite to become efficient
and effective in the way they served families. A natural outcome was to
augment services being provided, and in 2002 the group formalized its
desire to provide healthy relationship education throughout Yakima County,
and plans began to be formulated for today’s Healthy Families Yakima.
Our vision is that the Yakima Valley will be recognized as an area that
values marriage and fatherhood; and people in all walks of life will be
empowered to foster healthy relationships, strengthen their families,
and to surround our children with adults who demonstrate healthy relational
skills in all settings.
