THANK YOU 2 EVERYONE (parents, parent educators, advocates, colleagues, partners, & the members of #Congress) who helped #RenewMIECHV. This action by #Congress provides the stability we need to continue making an impact in the lives of children & families. #HomeVisitingWorks
For more than 18 months you called, you wrote, and you told Congress how important it is to #RenewMIECHV. Thanks to you, MIECHV will be renewed and will continue to fund the programs and services that are proven to help families thrive. THANK YOU!

Home visiting programs work to improve maternal/child health, prevent child abuse/neglect, encourage positive parenting & promote child development/school readiness. Ask U.S. reps and senators to reauthorize these programs for vulnerable children and families in S.C. #RenewMIECHV

America’s overwhelmingly bipartisan and evidence-based home visiting program - #MIECHV - expired in September, and now new moms will soon be turned away from the voluntary programs that are proven to help lift families out of #poverty. ffyf.org/not-just-chip-bipar… #RenewMIECHV

Tnx to advocates like you Congress extended #CHIP!!! But #MIECHV, which expired on the same day, is still languishing on Capitol Hill. Contact your Members of Congress & tell them that it’s time to #RenewMIECHV! bit.ly/2n8qjqf

We're glad about the passage of #CHIP, now it's time to turn attention towards the children and families being left behind without funding for evidence-based home visiting services. Tell Congress that the time is now to #RenewMIECHV!

A4: Home visiting connects families to the supports parents need to be reliable employees. Stable child care, health care, housing means parents can go to work. #RenewMIECHV

A4. High-quality home visiting and early childhood education help address the opportunity gap. Boys and girls who participate in these programs are more likely to finish high school and college and to be employed after they finish school. #RenewMIECHV xitter.cf/HomeVisiting/status/94…
Q4 Our nation needs a strong #economy. How does #homevisiting strengthen workforce development and our national economy? #RenewMIECHV
Replying to @HomeVisiting
A2: #HomeVisiting helps protect kids from #ACES in the first place, by preventing parents' risky behaviors & promoting their mental wellness -> creates nurturing & stable environments #RenewMIECHV

A3. Home visiting can reach isolated families who often have no transportation to access services. Maternal depression is prevalent in rural underserved areas and regular visits by a trusted home visitor helps. Mental health services are often not available. #RenewMIECHV xitter.cf/HomeVisiting/status/94…
Q3 What role do #homevisiting programs play in helping parents and children in rural and frontier communities? #RenewMIECHV
