The Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home-visiting (MECSH) programme is a structured program of home visiting for families which was developed in Australia.
MECSH provides personalised professional support for you and your family as you transition into parenthood and as your baby grows and develops. Supporting you from pregnancy until your baby is 2 years old.
You work with your Health visitor to create a plan for you and your baby’s needs. The same health visitor will continue to visit except for the times when they may be away, then another health visitor will help out.
This programme is tailored to improve outcomes for families working from prevention and early intervention framework.
MECSH is a voluntary programme and if you change your mind at any time, you can withdraw.
