How can I support my child’s healthy development?

Warm-Line Services

Caring for children can be overwhelming. thread staffs a warm-line for parents and early care educators, with an Early Childhood Specialist who can provide individualized child development information, discipline suggestions, or other supports.

The warm-line is a support line around parenting techniques and child development issues. We do not provide ongoing counseling; however we will provide referrals to other appropriate agencies if callers are in the midst of a crisis or need more comprehensive social service assistance.

Contact your regional thread office for warm-line services.
