Help Me Grow for

Healthcare Professionals

How It Works 

Help Me Grow is a national model that was started by Dr. Paul Dworkin at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. As a developmental pediatrician, he repeatedly confronted the question of where to send children for support from community resources. The partnership between Help Me Grow and medical providers endeavors to provide this support.

We support you and your office by: 

  • Providing child development information and parent skills coaching 

  • Navigating community resources for your patients 

  • Partnering for more connected services for your patients 

  • Helping patients connect to their medical or early intervention referrals

Refer a Patient

After a family has been referred, we will send confirmation of the received referral. Our resource navigation team will follow up with the family within 3 business days. With the family’s consent (the release of information forms below), we will keep you updated on the status of your referrals.

Ways To Refer

  1. Print the Release of Information form (below), obtain signature of parent and provider, and fax to Help Me Grow at 503-487-3585.

  2. Providers and families can self-refer by calling 833-868-4769.

  3. Families can also fill out our contact us form.
