Las pequeñas preguntas sobre tu hijo pueden convertirse en grandes preocupaciones. 💚

¿Debería estar hablando más? ¿Es normal este comportamiento? ¿Está alcanzando los hitos de desarrollo esperados para su edad?

Cuando estás criando a un niño pequeño, es natural tener preguntas sobre su desarrollo, y no tienes que buscar todas las respuestas por tu cuenta.

Help Me Grow conecta a las familias de Contra Costa con niños de 0 a 5 años con evaluaciones del desarrollo, recursos comunitarios y apoyo para ayudarte a comprender mejor las necesidades de tu hijo.

A veces, lo que necesitas es tranquilidad. Otras veces, puede ser una conexión con apoyo adicional. De cualquier manera, hacer preguntas a tiempo puede marcar una gran diferencia. 🌱Llama al 211 para obtener más información.

Little Questions About Your Child Can Feel Like Big Worries. 💚

Should they be talking more? Is this behavior typical? Are they reaching milestones when they should?

When you’re raising a young child, it’s natural to have questions about their development—and you don’t have to search for all the answers on your own.

Help Me Grow connects Contra Costa families with children ages 0–5 to developmental screenings, community resources, and support to help you better understand your child’s needs.

Sometimes reassurance is what you need. Sometimes it’s a connection to additional support. Either way, asking questions early can make a difference. 🌱Call 211 for more.

Negative thoughts can become so familiar that they start to sound like facts. But a thought is not the same thing as the truth. 💭

When that voice gets loud, challenge it.

Ask yourself: Would I speak this way to someone I love? Replace criticism with compassion. Focus on what you know, not what fear is telling you.

And when it feels too heavy to fight those thoughts alone, reach out. 💚

Call or text 988. Someone is there to listen, 24/7.

Not knowing how you’re going to feed yourself or your family carries a weight that can follow you all day.🍃

It’s opening the refrigerator and wondering how to make what’s left last. It’s skipping a meal so your children can eat. It’s worrying about the weekend when school meals aren’t available. It’s the stress of choosing between groceries, rent, medicine, or keeping the lights on.

Food insecurity affects more than physical health. The constant worry can take a toll emotionally, too—creating stress, fear, and a sense of isolation.

If you or your family are struggling to access food, call 211. Contra Costa Crisis Center can connect you with local food resources and other support that may help ease the burden.

Trying something new.
Speaking up.
Asking for help.
Walking into a room where you don’t know anyone.
Taking the first step toward something you’ve been putting off.

Challenging yourself can feel uncomfortable—but small, manageable challenges can help build confidence, resilience, and a greater belief in what you’re capable of.

The goal isn’t to push yourself past your limits. It’s to occasionally step just outside what feels familiar and discover that you can do more than you thought.

This week, consider choosing one small thing that feels a little uncomfortable—and give yourself the chance to try.

Growth often begins just outside your comfort zone. 💚

The Drop-Off Is Over. Now Comes the Quiet. 💚

Whether you dropped off one child or your last, sending a kid to college can bring a mix of emotions. For new empty nesters, that quiet can feel especially loud.

As they begin their next chapter, remember to take care of your mental health, too. Stay connected, make plans, rediscover what you enjoy, and give yourself time to adjust.

And if you’re struggling or simply need someone to talk to, call or text 988. Someone is there to listen, 24/7.

Today, we celebrate those in our lives who share their wisdom, resilience, stories, and accomplishments—and the countless ways they enrich our families and communities.🤗

Take a moment to connect. Make a call, share a meal, or simply spend time together. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give is letting someone know how much they matter.

On National Senior Citizens Day, we celebrate all the seniors in our community—and all that you bring to our lives. 💚
