Home Visitor Training Initiative

Intensive support and intervention in the home.

All parents deserve support. And when families get the support they need, serious problems can often be prevented. Home visiting programs are an effective and cost-efficient way to improve parental skills and confidence, connect families with other community resources, and ensure positive child outcomes.

Building on Family Strengths

For families in situations of risk, where there are concerns about child development, about parenting skills, or about child safety, the support and intervention of a trained home visitor can be crucial.

Trained home visitors bring a higher level of support to parents, help them to become better parents and raise happier, more responsible and more secure children. Parenting is a difficult and challenging job, and the more support parents have, the more children benefit.

Becoming a Trained Home Visitor

Our engaging, interactive training program is packed with information, discussion and activities.  The Council’s home visitor training sessions ensure that new or current workers and supervisors develop the skills and strategies to bring a higher level of service to the families they work with.
