What is home visiting?
Home visiting programs are specialized support services designed to help children reach their full potential by supporting family relationships. Children thrive when they have secure attachments with adults, stability, and loving interactions.
African American Pregnant/Parenting Moms
There are many options for how you want to be supported during your pregnancy and through the first year of your child’s life. We will help you find the right program for you, and you will be supported by staff who understand your needs and the experiences you are going through, allowing you to get the support you need.
