This e-learning education provides practical guidance on how to deliver nurse home visits to pregnant individuals and families with young children in a trauma- and violence-informed way. We call it a “win-win-win”:
- your service users, especially those facing the biggest challenges, will be better served
- you as the nurse or other home visitor, program or organizational leader will deliver services or interact with clients and families in a way that is more effective and acceptable, especially for those who might need extra care; you’ll also be more satisfied with your work
- your organization or practice setting will be better aligned with quality of care goals, and with a social justice approach
The curriculum has 6 sections, with embedded videos, case-based activities, a downloadable Notebook for reflection and links to key take-aways, and interactive quizzes throughout. After finishing section 6, successfully completing a brief assessment will provide a Certificate of Completion.
