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.
The Birth to Five Helpline is a free statewide program whose goal is to support parents,
caregivers and professionals across Arizona who have questions or concerns about the young
children in their care. The Helpline operates Mon-Fri, 8am to 8pm and can be accessed by
phone, website, email, or text. Assistance in English and Spanish is always available, and
support in other languages can be arranged. The Helpline specialists are well-equipped to
connect callers to community resources and additional support when needed, including
Southwest Human Development’s more than 40 programs and services – providing access to a
wide range of early childhood experts.
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 (in-person or
virtually through Zoom). 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.
During this time when Arizona families continue to cope with the impact of COVID-19, the
crucial role that the Birth to Five Helpline plays in our state is especially evident. Many risk
factors for child abuse and neglect are multiplied and intensified currently, including social
isolation, parenting/family stress, and expectations for children’s behavior that are unrealistic
for this exceptional circumstance. The ready availability of skilled specialists to steady adults
and support their sensitive care of young children, provide child development information and
offer community resources for concrete assistance makes the Helpline uniquely valuable.
The Helpline specialists support approximately 1,500 parents, caregivers and professionals
through about 5,000 contacts per year with 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,
Transportation, Economic Development, Health Care, Social Services, or Cultural and
Environment)
The Birth to Five Helpline/Fussy Baby program is aligned with the SOCIAL SERVICES and
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.

practices a robust and comprehensive fund development plan that includes individual giving,
