I’m proud to officially announce the formation of the Advisory Board for The Help Me Sprout Project.
Help Me Sprout, Inc. is proud to announce the formation of its Advisory Board—a dedicated group of professionals committed to advancing our mission of supporting children and families impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
The primary purpose of the Advisory Board is to guide the development of our signature educational initiative: A Broken Twig Can Sprout: Recognizing Emotional Distress in Children — A Guidebook for Parents and Educators.
Through their diverse expertise in healthcare, education, and child development, Advisory Board members will play an essential role in shaping both the book and its accompanying curriculum. Their contributions will help ensure that all content is grounded in evidence-based practices, trauma-informed principles, and real-world applicability.
By integrating professional insight with lived compassion, this collaborative effort aims to equip caregivers, educators, and communities with the tools needed to recognize emotional distress early and respond in ways that foster resilience, safety, and healing.
We are deeply grateful for their leadership and commitment to helping children not only endure—but grow, heal, and sprout.
Even broken twigs can sprout again.
