Help Me Grow Florida is a free over-the-phone resource that helps connect children, families, and caregivers to the services they need. Are you a Florida Resident and have a child between the ages of birth to age eight? If so, Help Me Grow can help, by answering any questions or concerns about your child’s development. They can guide you through their free developmental and behavioral screenings. In addition, they can provide parenting tips, activities, and other useful information. Once they connect you with resources, they will follow up to ensure you child receives the right services.
