How Home Visiting Supports Family Health and Wellness

At Bernalillo County Home Visiting, we connect families in Bernalillo County and surrounding areas with free home visiting programs designed to support family health, wellness, and early childhood development from pregnancy through age five.

Parents and caregivers often have questions—about health, nutrition, development, routines, and emotional wellness. Our goal is to make it easier for you to find trusted, practical information that supports your family’s well-being at every stage.

Trusted Information for Your Child’s Health and Development

Home visitors help families access reliable guidance on:

  • Child development milestones

  • Health and safety tips

  • Emotional and social development

  • Early learning and communication skills

  • Parenting strategies for everyday routines

We connect you with age-appropriate resources that help you understand what your child needs and how to support their growth.
