Take Root Home Visitation is an evidence-informed, secondary prevention program that targets military and civilian families who are or may be at risk for maltreatment. The program is delivered in a face-to-face format by home visitation specialists to parents and caregivers of infants and children from birth to 3 years of age.

Currently, only New Parent Support Program (NPSP) home visitors and NPSP support personnel serving military-connected families at a military installation can participate in the web-based Take Root Home Visitation curriculum training.

Home visitors are trained in Take Root Home Visitation via in-person or web-based training. Access to the Online Repository is granted only to those who have participated in a TRHV in-person or web-based training.
