What is Help Me Grow?

Help Me Grow is a voluntary family support program for pregnant women or new parents. Offered in every county of the state through a well-established network, Help Me Grow is an evidence-based program that promotes healthy growth and development for babies and young children. Our home visitors are well-trained professionals who use a non-judgmental and compassionate approach that empowers parents with skills, tools and confidence to nurture the healthy growth of their children.

Topics may include, but are not limited to: Healthy Pregnancies, Baby and Child Health, Breastfeeding, Nutrition, Immunizations, Child Growth and Development, Discipline, Toilet Training, Child Safety, Household Safety, & Local Resources.
