What is a Home Visit?

The groundwork for a successful working relationship with FamilyLight begins with the home visit. Scheduled on a normal business day, it is a daylong meeting between the FamilyLight consultant and the family. The home visit must be on a day free from distractions, obligations, and all other responsibilities. The purpose of this visit is to gain awareness of family interaction and to openly discuss the issues at hand.
