How does Early Home Visiting work?

They'll come to you

Your Support Professional can meet virtually, come to your home, or wherever you decide works best - to help you have a healthy pregnancy and keep you and your child thriving from birth onward.

Speak your language

It's important that you're totally comfortable with your Support Professional. So we'll match you with a program that can interpret your language and someone who will listen to and respect your own traditions and culture.

Provide you with guidance and know-how

The pressures of life don’t go away with a new baby, so your support person is here for you with other real-life needs, whether it’s healthcare, childcare or employment.

It's free for everyone

The expertise and guidance of your Support Professional is completely free, no matter where you live in Philly.

Make sure you never feel alone or unsupported

With all the attention on the new baby, it’s easy to forget that parents and big brothers and big sisters, need support too. Your Support Professional is there to make sure your entire family thrives.

Be there to listen and guide, not judge

Your Support Professional is there to listen, really listen, to your needs. They’ll get to work right alongside you to help you meet those needs with love, patience and support — but never judgement.
