What is Home Visiting?
 A Home Visiting program uses trained home visitors
to provide direct services to pregnant women or
children from birth to age 5.
 Home Visiting services are free and voluntary.
 Home Visitors have received background checks as
well as extensive training in child development.
 Home Visitors share information about parent-child
interactions, and they model activities to stimulate
attachment and development.
 There are ~300 Home Visiting programs in Illinois.

 MIECHV = Maternal, Infant, & Early Childhood Home
Visiting program.

and capacity of established home visiting programs

Illinois MIECHV: The Future
Incorporating Non-MIECHV Communities
 In MIECHV communities, we are working with non-
MIECHV home visiting partners to be part of
Coordinated Intake.
 We are looking for non-MIECHV communities who
will volunteer to incorporate Coordinated Intake into
their home visiting system .
 We are working to offer MIECHV trainings to nonMIECHV staff.
 We want to support non-MIECHV communities in
strengthening collaborations.
