WHO IT’S FOR:
- Families with young children (birth to age 5)
- New and expectant parents
- Teen parents
- Grandparents raising grandchildren
WHY IT MATTERS:
You are your child’s first and best teacher. Starting from birth, having a close, positive relationship with parents and primary caregivers makes a huge impact on a child’s future. Home visitation programs can support you and your family to be healthy, strong and thriving.
WHAT IT IS:
First Things First supports free home visitation programs across Arizona that provide personalized, in-home support for expectant mothers and families with children birth to age 5. A trained home visitor will work with you, in the convenience of your own home, to:
- Support you in promoting your child’s healthy development and school readiness
- Build positive parenting knowledge and skills
- Promote overall family well-being
- Provide resources and referrals to community services
Regular home visits are made over a period of months or years and services are responsive to you and your family’s needs.
There are different types of programs to respond to diverse families and communities.
