Cullman County District Attorney's Office Helping Families

 The Helping Families Initiative (HFI) is built on a collaborative relationship between the Cullman County District Attorney’s Office, community partners, and the surrounding public school systems. HFI seeks to provide prevention and intervention services aimed at eliminating the barriers to the child’s emotional, behavioral, and academic success by creating a network of support and referrals to each child and family participating in the Helping Families Initiative. 

 Once referred to The Helping Families Initiative, the families will be paired with a case officer which will assist them by working to identify the family’s specific needs, secure the necessary resources to assist them, as well as be there to support them as they work to reach their goals. Many of the referrals HFI may assist families with are: academic support, mentoring, mental health, parenting education, housing, food, clothing, utilities, domestic violence, job training, and childcare.
