The Benefits of Home Visiting

By meeting families where they are, home visiting programs have demonstrated short- and long-term impacts on the health, safety, and school-readiness of children; maternal health; and family stability and financial security. Home visitors are able to meet with families in their home and provide culturally competent, individualized needs assessments and services. This results in measured improvements in the following outcomes: healthy babies, safe homes and nurturing relationships, optimal early learning and long-term academic achievement, and supported families.

Home Visiting in San Joaquin County

San Joaquin County has several home visiting programs currently providing quality services to families. Home visiting is a proven early childhood service delivery strategy that matches expectant families and families with young children with a trained home visitor—often a parent educator, nurse, social worker, or early childhood specialist—who provides individualized, family-centered supports during the critical development period of pregnancy and a child’s first years. Home visitors meet with families in their home or a location of their choosing, including virtually due to COVID-19. Home visiting programs aim to support the whole family by providing resources and building skills for parents and their children, simultaneously.
