Presented by Chapin Hall and the National Governors Association

Join Vision for Children at Risk and St. Louis Children's Agenda partners as we host this national Web conference. Legislation currently before Congress would expand federal funding for early childhood interventions -- specifically voluntary home visitation programs that support pregnant women and families with newborns and preschool-aged children. What challenges and opportunities arise as states and local municipalities replicate successful home visitation programs and systems, document their progress, and innovate within their specific contexts?

Please join us in the Vision for Children at Risk/St. Louis Children's Agenda offices as a panel of experts discusses how a home visitation policy can link research and practice to strengthen programming and improve outcomes for children. They will examine how components of national home visitation models are currently being incorporated into systems of early childhood interventions and care, and share lessons learned from Virginia's 20-year experience with home visitation and cross-system collaboration.

Panelists:

• Catherine Bodkin, chair, Home Visiting Consortium, Virginia Department of Health
• Deborah Daro, research fellow, Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago
• Kay Johnson, consultant, National Center for Children in Poverty, president, Johnson Group Consulting
• Moderator: Patrick Boyle, editor, Youth Today
