The Florida Department of Health and the Department of Children and Families have unveiled a new initiative aimed at providing comprehensive support to families across the Sunshine State.
The launch of Strong Florida Moms (https://strongflmoms.com/) and the expansion of Father First resources mark a significant step in Florida’s commitment to empowering parents and promoting pro-life values by offering vital tools and information for every stage of parenthood.
The Strong Florida Moms website is designed to provide women with trusted information on pregnancy, motherhood, and beyond, while Father First offers dads access to resources and guidance on fatherhood.
Together, these platforms aim to equip Florida families with the knowledge and support they need to thrive.
A Commitment to Family Support
“Under the Governor and First Lady’s leadership, Florida is ensuring families statewide have the tools they need to ensure the best outcomes for pregnant women and their children, from pregnancy through the early years of life,” said State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo. “Through the resources now provided by the Strong Florida Moms and Father First programs, Florida will continue to support the lives and well-being of Florida’s families, advancing our vision that all Floridians have the opportunity to lead long, healthy, and fulfilling lives.”
The initiative reflects Florida’s ongoing efforts to prioritize family well-being and provide accessible resources for parents.
Secretary Shevaun Harris of the Department of Children and Families emphasized the importance of these programs, stating, “In Florida, thanks to the leadership of Governor and First Lady DeSantis, we are ensuring that parents, especially expectant parents, have resources and information that are readily available.
Through initiatives like Father First and Strong Florida Moms, we are empowering parents to thrive, building strong and resilient Florida families with confidence and support.”
