2-1-1 United Way Information "Help Me Grow"
When a parent or caregiver calls 2-1-1 with a concern about their child’s development or parenting topics the "Help Me Grow" program will be introduced.
A "Help Me Grow" Care Coordinator will listen to concerns and offer an initial developmental screening questionnaire. Questionnaires are a starting point that can help assess a child’s development.The Care Coordinator will work with the family to make connections to community resources and ensure that the family is engaged in receiving those services. "Help Me Grow" Florida is a system of care based on a national model which is being implemented this year by 2-1-1 organizations throughout the state of Florida.
