Home Visiting for Families

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 your child’s birth or in your child’s first few years of life, families are voluntarily matched with trained professionals. Trained professionals visit 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.
