The Home Visitor Readiness Training is designed as a guide for home visitors and supervisors, equipping them with skills and strategies to navigate the unique challenges they face in the field. This program emphasizes physical well-being, offering practical solutions to address concerns that arise during home visits. Participants will gain insights into field-readiness procedures, ensuring they are prepared both before and during their visits.
The training also highlights best practices adopted by other agencies to manage emergency field concerns, focusing on policies that safeguard the well-being of staff and the families they serve. An integral part of the training is fostering self-reflection on cultural norms and biases that influence field-related decisions, promoting a more inclusive and thoughtful approach to home visiting. This vital training is highly recommended for all professionals dedicated to excellence and safety in home visitation.
