Who Benefits from Home Visitation?
Who Benefits?
"Every week I learn a little more about my baby's development, nutrition and my own health. I've learned coping skills that help me stay sober for another week. I get connected to a web of resources so never again do I have to feel alone."
Families that participate in the program often face multiple challenges that may place their children at risk and prevent them from developing to their full potential including some of or all of the following:
- low income
