Industry Reviews

"The Art and Practice of Home Visiting, Second Edition is like a cookbook of timely topics with strategies for current and future home visiting practitioners to review, revisit, and reflect upon. Readers can easily visit and revisit topics of immediate need and interest to gain insight, study authentic examples, and learn about related resources. The book includes a valuable glimpse into the groundbreaking work of earlier home visiting pioneers and their foundational commitment to respecting families. Fast forward to today, the science of home visiting is increasingly dynamic and nuanced with multifaceted types of home visiting programs and services, including those delivered via technology. Yet, the commitment to truly valuing families has stood the test of time and is bedrock to the contents of this book." --Naomi Younggren, Ph.D.
