Empowering families raising children ages 0 to 8

Being a parent can be tough — but you aren’t alone! If you have concerns about your child’s educational, developmental or behavioral growth, we’re here to help. We’re here to help ensure ALL children have the best possible start in life by providing free developmental and behavioral screenings and connecting them to the resources they need to succeed.

What to expect

We’re here to support you every step of the way! When you contact Help Me Grow, a Care Coordinator will reach out to you to listen, provide support, and assess the needs of your child and family.  We will:

  • Offer free screenings to help provide insight on your child’s developmental and behavioral skills
