Georgia Home Visiting Institute 2024
The Georgia Home Visiting Institute was held August 20th in Peachtree City. This annual training and motivational experience is for Georgia’s home visitors who serve expectant and at-risk families with children from birth until kindergarten. Home visiting uses a strengths-based, family-centered support strategy that helps families raise children who are physically, socially, and emotionally healthy and ready to learn.
Georgia’s Department of Public Health operates several programs throughout Georgia, and CFR provides support services. Led by CFR’s Michelle Lanier, the Home Visiting Technical Assistance and Quality Team Director, CFR helped plan, organize, and lead the Institute.

A highlight of the day was a presentation by the Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students that explored the current home visiting policy landscape – at both the state and federal levels – and helped home visiting staff learn how to share the power of home visiting by translating their professional experiences into effective storytelling and powerful advocacy.
