PAT concentrates on young children
• We focus on the earliest years of life because those years hold both the most
vulnerability and the most opportunity.
• We help parents embrace their role as their child’s best, first teacher.
PAT focuses on families
• We teach resilience and provide foundational supports to vulnerable families.
• We equip parents with the knowledge and resources they need for child-rearing – from prenatal through pre-kindergarten – to assure a healthy start in life and greater success in school.
• We connect families with community supports, so they thrive where they live and develop greater self-sufficiency.
PAT transforms research into outcomes
• Neuroscience and evidence-based practice are the basis of our home visiting model.
• We transform research into real-life resources and tools for home visiting, early
development, and family support professionals.
During visits, our home visiting professionals assess family needs and partner with parents to set family goals. Home visitors provide necessary information and resources to help parents support the emotional, behavioral, and physical development of their children. Each personal visit includes a focus on parent-child interaction, development centered parenting, and family well-being.
October 30th-November 3rd is High School Red Ribbon Week.
