42 Winter 2019 2019 Winter 43 Healthy Families is a free home visitation service available to families with a new baby.

WHAT IS HOME VISITATION?

We believe that the most significant individuals in a child's life are their parents. Home Visitation is designed to support new parents by providing information on their child's development, positive parenting and the parentchild relationship.  Home Visits begin after the birth of the baby, or during the third trimester of pregnancy.  This is a voluntary program. The parent may choose to discontinue service at any time. Services are free and confidential. Families are referred by a public health nurse, selfreferral or community agencies.
