Healthy Beginnings
The Enhanced Home Visiting (EHV) is a free, voluntary home visiting program. Trained professionals called Community Home Visitors follow an evidence based curriculum to support parenting skills and child development, help clients identify and meet goals, and explore and build upon their strengths.
Community Home Visitors can provide guidance on:
• Infant Feeding
• Parenting
• Child Growth and Development
• Parent-Child Relationships
• And More
Community Home Visitors may also work with PHNs or allied health professionals to support families' unique needs. Support can start during pregnancy and continue for up to three years after a baby is born.
Healthy Beginnings is an enhanced community home visiting program for families with children from birth to 3 years offered in partnership through NS Health and LEA Place Women’s Resource Centre. The choice to be in this program is yours, and you can stop at any time. Your home visitor will visit you in your home or somewhere else that is safe and comfortable.
You choose:
• How often your home visitor will come
• What topics to discuss
• Who to include in the visits
What children learn as infants and toddlers will affect how they will do in school and later in life. Learn how the everyday things we do with our children help them grow and develop.
Find out what is available in your community for families. Build confidence in the choices you make as a parent. Your Community Home Visitor can help you find the answers that work for your family as every family is unique!
You can contact the Community Health Visitor directly or through the local designated Public Health Nurse.
