WHEN THE INTERNET, FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE NOT ENOUGH. Pregnant women and new parents are bombarded with advice from social media, websites, friends and family. Much of what you hear is conflicting. It is hard to figure out what is best for you and your family. We can help. TRUSTED ADVICE TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF THE FAMILY! For the past 35 years we have been providing parents with a choice of programs. Many parents tell us that have benefited from participating in one of our agency’s programs. Our highly trained staff provide you with encouragement, and education by recognizing your family’s strengths and sharing information during our time together. By building confidence, reducing stress, and maximizing your joy of being parents, our programs help you and your child grow together. www.familyvisitor.org

3. ABOUT US Family Visitor Programs was established to address community concerns about increases in child abuse identified by a needs assessment in the 1980’s. The Home Visitor Program began providing services to families in the fall of 1983, as one of fifteen demonstration projects with seed money from a federal Maternal Child Health block grant. In November 1986, the program became an independent not-for-profit corporation. Because of community support, the agency was the only “demonstration” project to survive, and is the longest established new parent home visitation program in Colorado. The agency provides home visitation services to pregnant women and to parents of young children residing in the Aspen to Parachute, Colorado region. See Our Programs for a description of current agency programs. Our programs are offered to families at no cost, regardless of income. www.familyvisitor.org
