Help Me Grow Home Visiting is a voluntary family support program for pregnant women or new parents. 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 gives parents the skills, tools, and confidence to nurture the healthy growth of their children. The parenting education and child development resources provided to families allows them to maximize this critical period of development in their child’s life, providing a foundation for lasting success.
