Traditionally designed to engage mothers, home visiting models have recently been expanded to include tools and techniques geared towards fathers. Parents as Teachers has partnered with Show Me Strong Families to explore how to involve fathers in home visits, increase outreach, and establish parent educators as a trusted resource where fathers can turn for support. Parent Educator Randall Hinton joins us to talk about the importance of cultivating and sustaining relationships with both mothers and fathers to promote healthy development for children and to update us on the work Parents as Teachers is doing to engage dads in home visits.
