Tell us what matters to you and your family

The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is working to improve the services available to families with young children in your area.

One of the services is Family Visiting—free, voluntary programs that support parents from pregnancy through early childhood by connecting them with helpful information, resources, and regular check-ins from trained staff.

Whether you’ve used Family Visiting before, heard about it, or never even knew it existed, we want to hear from you!

This short survey takes about 5–7 minutes to complete and will help RIDOH make better decisions that reflect the real needs of families in Rhode Island.

Your information will be kept private and only used for this survey. When we share results, they will be combined so no individual answers can be identified.
