Home visiting programs connect parents to specific people who provide tailored support with parenting and child development. These people may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>social workers<\/li>\n<li>community health workers<\/li>\n<li>nurses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Home visiting programs also offer referrals to resources for basic needs. Home visiting takes a two-generational approach. This means home visitors are working to help both parents and their children with their individual needs, which helps the whole family. Home visiting programs are focused, individualized, and culturally competent services. They focus on expectant parents, young children and their families. Services are provided in the home.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence-based and evidence-informed home visiting can enhance parenting. Home visiting can also promote the growth and development of young children, beginning in pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>To get connected to a home visiting program, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earlyimpactva.org\/homevisitinginva\/#VAPrograms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Early Impact Virginia (EIV) has a directory<\/a>. The directory helps connect families and providers to local home visiting programs.<\/p>\n<p>In Virginia, there are nine home visiting models that you may be eligible to receive. See below for more information on each home visiting model and how to access them:<\/p>\n<h3>BabyCare<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/pregnancy\/babycare\/\">BabyCare \u2013 Pregnancy<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Healthy Families America (HFA)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familiesforwardva.org\/healthy-families-virginia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Healthy Families Virginia | familiesforwardva<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Parents As Teachers (PAT)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familiesforwardva.org\/parents-as-teachers-virginia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parents as Teachers Virginia | familiesforwardva<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Nurse Family Partnership (NFP)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Western Tidewater Health District<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/western-tidewater\/nurse-family-partnership\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Nurse Family Partnership \u2013 Western Tidewater Health District<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nurse Family Partnership<br \/>\n135 Hall Ave Suite A<br \/>\nSuffolk, VA 23434<br \/>\n(757) 514-4727<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eastern Shore Health District<br \/>\n<\/strong>Nurse Family Partnership<br \/>\n23191 Front Street<br \/>\nAccomack, VA 23301<br \/>\n(757) 787-5880<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fairfax Health Department<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairfaxcounty.gov\/health\/maternal-child-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maternal and Child Health | Health<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nurse Family Partnership, BabyCare\/Maternal Child Health Nurse Home Visiting Team<br \/>\n10777 Main St<br \/>\nFairfax, VA 22030<br \/>\n(703) 246-2411<\/p>\n<h3>Comprehensive Health Investment Project (CHIP) of Virginia<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familiesforwardva.org\/chip-of-virginia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CHIP of Virginia | familiesforwardva<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Healthy Start Loving Steps<\/h3>\n<p><strong>EVMS\/ODU Loving Steps<br \/>\n<\/strong>Eastern Virginia Medical School at Old Dominion University<br \/>\nMacon &amp; Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University<br \/>\nBox 1980<br \/>\nNorfolk, VA 23501<br \/>\n(757) 407-0897<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hopewell Loving Steps<br \/>\n<\/strong>224 N.
