Welcome to National Home Visiting Week

The inaugural National Home Visiting Week (NHVW) was held April 21-25, 2025, an observance to celebrate and recognize home visitors and the positive impact they make on maternal and child health outcomes.

The Institute for the Advancement of Family Support Professionals, an organization focused on strengthening home visiting and human service programs across the country, is collaborating with nonprofit partners and elected officials to organize the event. NHVW garnered bipartisan support as U.S. Senators Chuck Grassley (R– Iowa) and Mark Warner (D–Virginia) issued a proclamation to highlight the importance of home visiting.

The last full week of April (Monday-Friday) is reserved for National Home Visiting Week for years to come!

Both graciously shared their resources to help make NHVW a success, and it’s this collaboration and spirit of sharing that embodies the spirit of home visiting.
