Caring for young children can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences and it’s difficult to know where to start looking for resources when families want help supporting their little ones!
Minnesota Help Me Connect (www.helpmeconnectmn.org) is a new online navigator that connects pregnant and parenting families with young children birth to 8 years of age with services in their local communities that support healthy child development and family well-being.
Help Me Connect was created based on suggestions from parents and providers looking for an early childhood “one-stop shop” that connects families to local resources. It is a joint initiative between the Minnesota departments of Education, Health, Human Services and the Governor’s Children’s Cabinet.
