Organized by the Institute for the Advancement of Family Support Professionals, National Home Visiting Week recognizes the contribution of thousands of home visitors who meet with families every day. Their work not only reduces the risk of abuse and neglect but also promotes equity by providing resources to families who are furthest from opportunity.
In Vermont, home visiting programs such as CIS Strong Families Vermont Home Visiting connect families with trained professionals who support families with trained professionals who support families from pregnancy until the child turns two, focusing on health, parenting, and financial stability. The program aims to improve family life by teaching parenting skills, encouraging positive interactions, and offering advice on health and safety. Nurses also conduct screenings and connect families to needed services and support.
Please join us in celebrating the dedication and impact of our home visiting professionals. Their contributions are vital to the well-being of families and communities nationwide.
