Home Visiting Program Information for Maternal Health

Strong policies and sound research in home visiting and maternal health lead to smarter investments and stronger communities. When decision-makers invest in evidence-based approaches, families receive the support they need during the earliest and most critical stages of a child’s development.

Home visiting programs, backed by research, connect parents with trained professionals who provide guidance, resources and encouragement. These supports reduce stress, strengthen parent-child relationships and help families build safe and nurturing environments. By aligning what we know works with what families need most, we can prevent abuse and neglect before it happens and give every child the chance to grow up health, safe and thriving.
