How We Help Providers

Ventura County Providers: The Power of the Network

For young children to get the right interventions at the right time, families need reliable, equitable access to support services.

That’s where Help Me Grow comes in. Through our centralized access point, we connect families to the right resources, so their children can thrive.

One in four children under age 6 is at risk for developmental, behavioral, or social delays.¹

Many young children with delays miss the window of opportunity for early identification and early intervention services.^2,3
