Help Me Grow Inland Empire is creating a community-driven early identification and intervention system that aligns and strengthens existing resources in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. We are dedicated to helping families take charge of their children’s healthy development, every step of the way. Our diverse population is full of rich cultures, and not only do we want to foster culturally informed practices in our own work, but we want other providers in our area to have the tools to do so as well. Help Me Grow Inland Empire is made possible by a joint investment from First 5 San Bernardino and First 5 Riverside, in partnership with Loma Linda University Children’s Health.
