VISION

2014

VISION (Visiting In-home Supports for Intervention, Outcomes, and Networking) serves families from pregnancy until the child is 3 years of age, including first time parents, adoptive parents, teen parents and other parents who would like additional support and who are living in Bernalillo County. VISION utilizes the home visiting model developed through the previous efforts of the FOCUS Program in order to promote and enhance social-emotional development of the child. A team of professionals that include a Nurse, Social Worker and Case Managers visit families in their home starting when mothers are pregnant and until the baby is 3 years old. The program promotes the health and well-being of children and families by helping to build strong caregiver-child relationships. VISION offers supports and services prenatally and during the first 3 years of the child?s life for first time parents including adoptive parents. The goals of the program include: 1) provision of regular home visits to identified families; 2) referral and follow-up for families to community services; 3) broad collaboration with key stakeholders and 4) orientation, training and supervision of staff.
