Ventura County Home Visiting Connections

This online tool was made to help families in Ventura County find free home visiting programs that offer support during pregnancy and early childhood. The goal of this online tool is to improve health outcomes for local families and children aged newborn to 5.

Home Visiting is a free, voluntary program that connects families with trained professionals who offer personalized, one-on-one support, often beginning during pregnancy and continuing through a child’s early years. Home visitors are trusted allies and sources of hope and strength for every family they serve. These helpers give support and advice starting during pregnancy and through the early years of a child’s life. Home visitors help parents understand how their child is growing, answer health questions, share local resources, and build confidence in parenting. When families feel supported, kids grow up stronger and healthier.

This online tool is for individuals and families who are pregnant or have children under age 5 and want extra help or someone to talk to during their pregnancy and parenting journey. The Ventura County Home Visiting Connections online tool can also be a helpful resource for case managers, care coordinators, community health workers, enhanced care managers, health navigators, and health advocates who support families.

The online tool asks a few simple questions to learn what kind of support your family might need. Based on your answers, a list of free home visiting programs that might be a good fit will be displayed. Contact the programs directly to see if they have space and if you qualify. The online tool does not collect or save any personal information.

If you’re still not sure which program is best for your family, please contact us at Help Me Grow, a free program from First 5 Ventura County. Help Me Grow can help you find the right support.
