A Strengths-Based Approach
What We Do…
Support Strengths-Based Home Visiting by:

2) Providing motivation, tips, and the joys of home-visiting through our Heart of Home Visiting social media platforms.
Training sessions include presentations, video observations, reflections, discussions, polls, and readings.
Why We Do It…

To help practitioners use a strengths-based approach in their work with families.
To share our research on aspects of Developmental Parenting and strengths-based home visiting.
