Evidence Based Home Visiting (EBHV)

Improving the health and well-being of both children and parents

What is EBHV?

During the first years of a child’s life, many parents face obstacles such as poverty, domestic violence and social isolation. They might feel confused, alone, stressed or overwhelmed by the presence of a newborn and may struggle to meet the needs of their children.

Evidence Based Home Visiting (EBHV) programs can be an effective early-intervention strategy to improve the health and well-being of children and parents. Research demonstrates that young children of families enrolled in EBHV programs show improvements in health and development outcomes and increased school readiness.

How do you benefit from EBHV programs?

  • Improved family functioning and parenting skills
  • Connect your family to appropriate social service agencies
  • Get help and tools to promote early learning
  • Receive help providing a safe, nurturing environment for your children
  • Your children receive help in becoming more self-sufficient

Families participate on a voluntary basis and are provided with ongoing support in times of need.
