Project Name: Birth to Five Helpline/Fussy Baby Program

Provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC Grant
Program. In the description provide a summary of the relevant experience, administrative
activity, and program development related to the grant request.

During this time when Arizona families are coping with the impact of COVID-19, the crucial role
that the Birth to Five Helpline plays is especially evident. Family stressors in this crisis are often
multiplied and intensified, representing increased risk for child and family safety and well-
being.

For many months now, the Helpline specialists have been responding to callers with difficulties
that have arisen because of, or are exacerbated by, the pandemic. These include social
isolation, increased parental conflict, difficulty balancing working from home and parenting,
struggles over supporting children’s educational needs, increased child challenging behavior,
and difficulty obtaining needed resources. Frequent calls include how to talk to children about
the virus, worry about children’s health, concerns about development in the absence of social
Opportunities, weighing the risks and benefits of sending children back to child care or
preschool, and considerations around visiting family outside of the home.

The Helpline stands as a crucial primary prevention and early intervention tool that is unique in
our state and exceedingly rare in the country. In addition to its statewide availability, it uses a
distinctive approach to discerning and addressing risk factors to healthy child development and
family functioning. The highly trained and experienced Helpline specialists employ (1) an
evidence-informed model (the FAN approach, developed by the national Fussy Baby Network)
to support trusting, attuned engagement with callers; (2) a trauma-informed lens, which
necessitates a sensitivity to the widespread occurrence of trauma, knowledge of the signs and
symptoms of trauma, and a collaborative stance that intentionally aims to avoid re-
traumatization; (3) the lenses of diversity, equity and inclusion as they affect families and
influence parenting; (4) up-to-date information on child development and parenting/caregiving
that is individualized to the needs of callers; and (5) resources and referrals that have been
vetted for quality and availability.

The Fussy Baby program is a service of the Birth to Five Helpline that assists parents of babies
whom they experience as crying excessively, difficult to comfort, and/or having trouble feeding
or sleeping. This service provides telephone support and home visitation services (currently via
the Zoom videoconferencing platform). While it is common for new parents to have feelings of
anxiety, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused parents of new babies all over the state to descibe
feelings of anxiety and depression at much higher rates.

The Helpline specialists support approximately 3,900 parents, caregivers and professionals
through about 5,000 calls per year to the Helpline. The highly trained specialists ensure
emotional safety for caregivers to describe their concerns. Callers are treated with respect and
are active collaborators in decision-making. Helpline specialists take a strengths-based
approach, prioritizing empowerment and skill-building over moving in quickly to give advice.
This thoughtful and collaborative approach is particularly important in the current
circumstances, when many families are stressed to the brink, which can lead to negative
outcomes that can have short and long term impacts on the health and development of a child.
Having the support of a caring professional during these difficult times can make a huge
difference to a family, where instead of fear, anxiety and stress, they feel supported,
encouraged, and confident in their capacities as parents and Caregivers.

What percentage of the grant request are Direct Costs of the programming and Indirect Costs,
respectively?

100% direct for salary and benefit expenses.

Define the Project Category and/or relevant sub-category: (i.e. Education, Public Safety,

EDUCATION categories in that it is a statewide program providing much needed information,
support, resource and referral to parents, caregivers and professionals throughout Arizona; and
in the PUBLIC SAFETY category in that it is a primary prevention and early intervention service
that addresses parental concerns and provides timely support before abuse occurs.
