From river to river, from farm to market, in college towns and cities, the Iowa Family Support Network is working to grow healthy and vibrant communities.

More than 650 family support professionals reach over 12,000 families across Iowa. Our voluntary programs work with parents who invest their time to strengthen and nourish their family. Family support workers advocate, assist in enhancing parenting skills, and help caregivers find someone they can depend on. Three key areas of focus are: Maternal and Child Health, School Readiness, and Strong Families.

The fate of our families impacts everyone in the state. Over the last three decades, Iowa Family Support has become a national leader in improving the lives of parents and kids. Guided by common-sense values that help define a vision for the future of Iowa, we support the state’s greatest resource, our people.

The Iowa Family Support Network helps new and expectant parents cope with the challenges of raising a family by planting the seeds of resilience so families can learn of the vast opportunities around them.
