What is Home Visiting?

Home visiting connects expectant parents and families with young children to a trained, family support professional who provides customized coaching and guidance during pregnancy, postpartum and the early stages of a child’s development. Home visitors help parents understand their role as their child’s first, and most important, teacher. Home visitors help families realize their strengths, and unlock their child’s potential.

“As a pediatrician, honestly, I wish more of my families had home visitation. The ones that do really love it. When parents tell me they have home visiting I feel a sigh of relief because I know someone is in the home checking on things and supporting the whole family.”​
