Family Home Visiting (FHV)

Families are central to the physical, social and emotional development of infants and young children.  Family home visiting (FHV) is a voluntary, home-based service ideally delivered prenatally through the early years of a child’s life. It provides social, emotional, health and parenting support and information to families, and links them to appropriate resources. Programs within the Maternal  Child Health (MCH) unit strive to improve the health status of children and youth, women and families.
