[South Carolina First Steps @SCFirstSteps]

A landmark five-year study by Child Trends found that SC First Steps' Parents as Teachers home visiting program reduces child maltreatment, boosts kindergarten readiness, and strengthens parenting skills, especially for families enrolled longer. This Children's Awareness Month, we're proud to share what happens when we invest in families from the very beginning. Learn more at https://t.co/haR6scRzVS

I’m extremely grateful to Bloomington native and Brightpoint Vice President of Early Childhood Development, Mendy Smith, for testifying at today’s @WaysandMeansGOP Work & Welfare Subcommittee hearing on the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program.

Her advocacy and expertise is invaluable to the members of our committee as we look at ways to strengthen the MIECHV program.

This program builds upon decades of research that proves home visits by trained professionals during pregnancy and in the first years of a child’s life help prevent child abuse, improve maternal health, and promote child development.

By meeting families where they are, MIECHV helps Hoosier parents build healthier homes, strengthening communities for generations to come.

Thank you to Chairman @RepJasonSmith for recognizing Jackie Walorski's legacy and for your continued leadership on this vital program.

[Congressman Rudy Yakym @RepRudyYakym]

The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) is a top priority for me, and it has a long history in Indiana's Second District. My predecessor Jackie Walorski was a tireless champion for this program.

Since 2011, nearly 16,000 Indiana families have received almost 400,000 home visits through MIECHV.

[Congressman Mike Carey @RepMikeCarey]

It was a pleasure to have Shemya Wilson, a Parent Ambassador for @changentorg, before the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Work and Welfare today to talk about the importance of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Education Home Visiting (MIECHV) program. MIECHV is an evidence-based program that provides voluntary home visiting services to children and families at risk of adverse outcomes. During our conversation, Shemya provided resources for more Central Ohioans to see if they qualify for MIECHV services.

More information on those resources can be found here:

The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program is special because it meets families right where they are.

By partnering with trusted local organizations and community members, MIECHV connects families with support they need while strengthening the communities they call home. @RepLaHood

[Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith]

Strong families make strong communities.

That's why the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program matters. By meeting families where they are and providing support, MIECHV helps parents create healthier homes for their children to strengthen communities for generations to come.

Hill Day is underway for our Policy & Advocacy Summit. Changent advocates are spending the day meeting with members of Congress and their offices to share the impact of Child First and Nurse-Family Partnership and ask for continued investment and support!

[Changent @changentorg]

Thank you, Sen. @ChuckGrassley, for meeting with Nurse-Family Partnership Administrator Michelle Cullen and for being such a champion for MIECHV and our evidence-based home visiting programs.

[Darin LaHood @RepLaHood]

Home visiting programs deliver real, tangible results for mothers, babies, and young families. That’s why I’ve been proud to support the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting programs at the federal level, including introducing a resolution in April to highlight the positive impact these programs have on childhood development.

It was a privilege to meet with advocates from Changent, Nurse-Family Partnership, and Child First at the Capitol to talk about my continued efforts to support families and the home visitors who provide care and critical resources to parents and children.

Home visiting programs like the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program have a proven track record of strengthening families and improving outcomes for children’s health, well-being, and readiness for school. That’s why I’m happy to join @RepLaHood, @RepDannyDavis, & @RepRudyYakym in reintroducing the bipartisan resolution recognizing National Home Visiting Week and the impact of home visiting on family and child success.
