Eligible individuals who may benefit from home visiting are identified by health screens conducted by Children's Futures' partner agencies and are invited to participate in one of the available home visiting programs (Healthy Families, Nurse Family Partnership or the TIP Program). Some women may be eligible to receive home visiting services through a public health nurse program designed to serve women who have high medical risks.
