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.
