Oregon is home to many Early Childhood Home Visiting programs that focus on the health and wellbeing of children and families. With a diversity of programs, Oregon is able to provide services that individual families want and deserve.
"All human beings share similar biological attributes, needs, and rights (e.g., the need for food shelter and love; the commonalities of language, families, and feelings) and people live and meet these shared needs and rights in many different ways."
