“Relief Nursery really helps families from not breaking apart completely, breaking as a person individually,” 

- Jessica Hamrick, Relief Nursery parent. 

"Relief Nursery: Care Before Crisis"

In 1976, a group of women in Eugene, Oregon, recognized a growing crisis of child abuse and neglect in their community and decided to act.  This year, Relief Nursery marks 50 years of providing early intervention and comprehensive support to vulnerable families facing complex challenges.  Step inside Relief Nursery today and meet the parents and staff working together to give children a safe, stable start.

Relief Nursery is a HomeFront Productions Original Documentary, in partnership with SafeCamp Productions.

"Helping Hands" is a documentary that takes viewers to Community Hospital in Grand Junction, CO where a lack of affordable child care has made it harder to recruit and retain nurses and doctors. The hospital responded by creating Adventure Academy, its own child care center that now also serves the broader community.  It’s a hopeful story that reveals a much larger challenge: When child care doesn’t work, the consequences reach far beyond parents, care providers and kids — affecting employers, essential workers, local economies and entire communities. And even innovative employer solutions can only go so far in fixing a systemic problems. 

"Helping Hands" is a HomeFront Productions original documentary, in partnership with PBS12. 

Coming soon:

A film that examines why time in nature matters for early childhood development, and what declining vaccination rates mean for family and community health.

Each project reflects HomeFront’s solutions-focused approach: not only what families are up against, but the community-level solutions taking shape and the efforts to bring them to scale.
