on Home Visiting

Home Visiting

A key function is to serve families and ensure high quality programs while providing support and empowering the community. 

Home visiting programs are voluntary, family-focused services offered to expectant parents and families with new babies and young children to support the physical, social, and emotional health of your child.

When families receive home-based support, children are better prepared for school, abuse and neglect are less likely and parent-child bonds are stronger.

Either before a child’s birth or the child’s first few years of life, families are voluntarily matched with trained professionals. These home visitors engage families in their homes or community settings to provide information and support related to children’s healthy development, support parent-child relationship, and provide information on importance of early learning and connections to other information, services and supports in the community.
