Help Me Grow Maine

Help Me Grow Maine (HMG Maine) is a central access point that works to connect all families of children prenatal to eight, to reach out and be linked with information, resources, and referrals to the already-existing services in Maine. HMG Maine is a low-barrier resource, requiring no formal referral from a professional, no financial or diagnostic criteria, and no paperwork to complete to begin the process.

Reasons to reach out to HMG Maine include:

• You are working with a family that needs additional supports, but you are unsure what they are eligible for/where to refer them.
• A family needs support in navigating the system of services to connect with a program or resource (CDS, Targeted Case Management, Early Care and Education settings, etc.).
• You would like to speak as a professional with a resource specialist about what resources are available for a family you are working with, or about resources in your area in general.
• You would like a child to receive a developmental and/or social-emotional screening through Ages and Stages Questionnaires®.

HMG Maine is now available statewide! Support can be accessed by both families and providers by:
