Help Me Grow

South Carolina’s gateway to raising healthy children.

As the state’s most comprehensive, healthy development resource hub for families of young children, Help Me Grow (HMG) connects caregivers to the specialists, tools and services they need to support their child’s behavior, health and learning.

Care coordinators guide caregivers through the complicated network of services and supports available to children birth to age 5.

Help Me Grow offers:

  • Child development specialists to identify and connect parents to the right resources close to home.
  • ASQ (Ages & Stages Questionnaire) developmental screenings to measure a child’s progress and explore everyday ways to support his or her learning.
  • SC’s most connected grid of child development and community resources, ranging from basic needs to parent support.

Help Me Grow supports your practice and the families you serve.

Help Me Grow works with child health and service providers to offer developmental screenings, follow up connection to services, and information regarding healthy child development. With just one referral, HMG provides an individualized resource navigation pathway for each family.

HIPPY - Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters

Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) is a home visiting program that supports parents in their role as their child's first and most important teacher.

The program is designed for families with 4-year-old children. It can be particularly beneficial for low-income families, parents and caregivers with limited education, families with history of child abuse, neglect and/or involvement with the child welfare system, and immigrant families experiencing language barriers.

Every week for 30 weeks, a trained parent educator meets with families of young children in their home. Visits are guided by a curriculum designed to equip parents with the skills and tools necessary to succeed in their role as a child’s first and most important teacher.
