CalWORKs Families Rising (FaR)
Families Rising is the CalWORKs Home Visiting Program that provides services to households that have a member who is pregnant or children under the age of two.
Home visits can take place in your home, in a location in your community, or another location you choose. They can even take place virtually. Visits will cover parent-child interactions, child development, and overall family well-being.
FaR services include:
- Pregnancy or post-partum support
- Early child care and education to prepare your child for school
- Child health screenings to ensure children meet their developmental milestones
- Referrals for services including housing, domestic violence, and substance abuse
- Mental health support for parents experiencing stress
- Voluntary parent support groups with other program participants
