Birth to Five Helpline

The Birth to Five Helpline is a program of Southwest Human Development and is partially funded by First Things First. This is a free service open to all Arizona families of young children birth to age 5. Early childhood experts are available by phone — Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Helpline’s bilingual (English/Spanish) specialists take as much time on the phone as parents need. They’ll talk with you about your child and family home life to get a clear a picture of the factors that could be affecting your little one.

The goal is to avoid giving generic advice. The specialist and the parent come up with a thoughtful plan, and there can be follow-up conversations to make adjustments needed to be successful. Topics include but are not limited to: sleep, nutrition, safety, behavior, feeding/eating, general child development and parenting.
