Kids Thrive 585- Thriving Forward Podcast
Home visitation programs strengthen Rochester families
 In this episode of Thriving Forward, Sarah interviews Alice McAdam, the Program Manager of the Parents as Teachers (PAT) program at Hillside Children's Center in Rochester, New York and PAT moms, Vanessa Lespier and Nicole Pope.
During the podcast, Nicole said, "Parents as Teachers has helped me to step outside of my comfort zone; and they hear my voice. I truly enjoy "mommyhood"! It is not always easy, but when I look at my son, Willie, Jr., a.k.a. li'l guy, even the hardship of being a single mother is all worth the fight and sacrifices I make daily."

HRSA MIECHV Guidance About COVID 19
|
|

.png) Excerpt from HRSA email dated March 17 at 3pm.
"HRSA is aware of the impacts the COVID-19 public health emergency has and will continue to have on service delivery to families. We understand that some states have suspended face-to-face home visits to protect the health and safety of families and recommend the use of telephone and/or video communication in lieu of face to face home visits. A number of home visiting service delivery models have disseminated guidance to states and local organizations related to precautions and safeguards recommended during a public health emergency. Model developer guidance may indicate that use of telephone and/or video technology to maintain contact with families during an emergency is consistent with model fidelity standards.
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, HRSA encourages awardees and local implementing agencies (LIAs) to follow CDC, state and local health department, and model guidance, and supports appropriate use of alternate methods to conduct home visits in alignment with model fidelity standards. Please alert your Project Officer if the state and/or LIAs suspend home visit and/or temporarily change the service delivery strategy. Follow model developer guidance about definitions of completed home visits for the purposes of performance reporting, if service delivery adaptations are being instituted.
For up-to-date information on the status of the virus outbreak, please refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
If you have questions about how COVID-19 might impact your ability to comply with the terms of your HRSA funding, please provide as much information as possible to your HRSA Project Officer."
