Substance Use Support for Families

If you are pregnant, parenting, or caring for a newborn or infant and using substances or in recovery, you are not alone.

Our Pregnancy + Postpartum Family Resource Navigators listen without judgment and help you find care that meets you where you are.

We can help you connect to:

  • Baby supplies, food resources, free or reduced-cost health insurance, housing options, and transportation
  • Substance use treatment programs
  • Peer recovery support and parenting support groups
  • Mental health support, including postpartum depression and anxiety care
  • Free or reduced-cost health insurance and healthcare for you and your baby
  • And so much more

There are no income requirements and no pressure, just support. We’re here to walk along this path with you.

Help Me Grow Washington is not CPS. We are a nonprofit support service focused on connection and care — not investigation.
