About Home Visiting

What is home visiting

Home visiting is a prevention strategy designed to:

    • support pregnant families
    • promote infant and child health
    • foster child development and school readiness
    • help prevent child abuse and neglect.

Home visiting programs are voluntary and offer vital support to parents as they manage the challenges of raising babies and young children.

Colorado’s home visiting models are rigorously evaluated and proven to work. Learn more about these evidence-based approaches.

How it helps families

Visits focus on:

  • linking pregnant families with prenatal care
  • promoting strong parent-child attachment
  • coaching parents on activities that foster their child’s development
  • supporting parents’ role as their child’s first and most important teacher
  • connecting families to community resources.

Who are home visitors

Home visitors can be:

  • social workers
  • trained nurses
  • trained peers
  • child development specialists.
