Celebrate home visiting with our first annual
National Home Visiting Week
April 21-25, 2025
Introducing National Home Visiting Week
The inaugural National Home Visiting Week (NHVW) will take place 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!

The Institute is very thankful for North Carolina, Wisconsin and the County of Los Angeles, who have been celebrating home visitors for several years with their own observances. 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.
