We\u2019re\u00a0excited to welcome Help Me Grow Whatcom and Help Me Grow Grays Harbor to the Help Me Grow Washington network! ? With their addition, more communities across the state are building coordinated, family-centered systems of support\u2014strengthening connections and making it easier for families to access the resources they need, when they need them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Whatcom County, the team has shown incredible dedication and thoughtfulness throughout their exploration of the Help Me Grow (HMG) model. Building on the strong community infrastructure already in place, such as the well-established Single Entry Access to Services (SEAS) line that families know and trust, we\u2019re excited to see the HMG Whatcom system take shape as a natural and meaningful next step. We can\u2019t wait to continue growing this partnership together!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Grays Harbor\u00a0County, the team has been\u00a0exceptionally\u00a0thoughtful and engaged\u00a0as\u00a0they\u2019ve\u00a0explored the HMG model,\u00a0and\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0delighted to celebrate this next step as they begin implementing HMG locally. Their leadership, energy, and commitment to families shine\u00a0through in\u00a0all they do.\u00a0We\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0wait to grow this partnership together!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Local Help Me Grow systems are made up of organizations and local champions for healthy child development and, along with support from the Help Me Grow Washington state affiliate, WithinReach,\u00a0are responsible for\u00a0the implementation of Help Me Grow locally. They work together so that families and caregivers can more easily access essential resources and support in their community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HMG Whatcom and HMG Grays Harbor join our strong network of established HMG Local Systems, including HMG Skagit, HMG Central WA, HMG King County, and HMG Island County. We are also so grateful for our HMG Engaged Communities, who collaborate with HMG WA in many ways and may be exploring how HMG could take shape in their own communities.<\/span><\/p>\n
