Healthy Families Martin-Okeechobee

On the last visit prior to successfully completing the Healthy Families program, families are asked to reflect on their time and experiences during their participation.  The following is an excerpt from 2 recent graduates’ survey responses:
What were your greatest challenges, fears, concerns or worries when you first came into the program?
 #1 -Not having someone I could trust to guide me and teach me how to raise my children and move forward.
#2 -Being alone when my baby was born with a disability.                                                                                                  
In what ways has Healthy Families impacted your life?
 #1 -I have learned to value the good and the bad, always looking for solutions to progress, and give the best to my family.
#2-Feeling supported at every visit during the difficult situation I was facing.
What do you feel has been your biggest accomplishment?
 #1 -I have learned that I can achieve everything I set my mind to!
#2-Watching my son grow up and knowing that he is very smart!

Successful Futures

Inclusive Services for Individuals with Disabilities

Did You Know?

Helping People Succeed is proud to partner with Vocational Rehabilitation, Cleveland Clinic, the Martin County School District, and ARC of the Treasure Coast to help young adults with disabilities transition from school to work through the Project SEARCH program.

Interns receive hands-on training, career coaching, and on-site experience at Cleveland Clinic, equipping them with the skills and confidence to thrive in the workforce. Together, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive community.

Community Connections Program Gives Back

The participants in our Community Connections Program are making a difference while building valuable skills for the future! Throughout the month of October, participants volunteered an incredible 242 hours with local organizations across our community. Through these volunteer efforts, participants are not only giving back but also learning essential soft skills such as teamwork, communication, responsibility, and professionalism.
