Founded in 1981, Southwest Human Development is Arizona’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated
It's Birth to Five Helpline Week. Our specialists talk with parents and caregivers every day, and if there's one thing they've learned, it's that no two parenting journeys look the same.
Every family has its own story, challenges, strengths, and hopes for the future. Some parents call us about sleep. Others about behavior, child development, feeding, or adjusting to life with a new baby.
While every situation is different, every family deserves support that meets them where they are.
That's why our specialists start by listening.
That's why we're here.
If you need support, or know a parent who could use a trusted voice and a listening ear, call the Birth to Five Helpline at 877-705-KIDS (5437).
Nothing out of the Question.

Did you know?
Most injuries to babies happen at home, and many are preventable with simple safety steps.
Safe sleep practices, proper car seat use, and childproofing everyday spaces can significantly reduce risk during the first year of life.
Baby Safety Month is a reminder that small precautions make a big difference.

Today is National Care for Kids Day and the final day of the Statewide Diaper Drive.
One of the simplest ways we can care for children is by helping ensure they have the essentials they need to stay clean, comfortable, and healthy.
As Arizona comes together during Diaper Need Awareness Week, we're asking our community to make one final push toward the goal of providing one million diapers for children and families across our state. Diapers are a basic need, yet many families struggle to afford them
Today, your donation can help provide comfort, dignity, and peace of mind for Arizona families.

One state. One mission. One million diapers.
Diapers are needed every day, but one in two families with young children struggles to afford them. Because diapers cannot be purchased through SNAP or WIC benefits, keeping up with this basic necessity can be especially challenging.
The Statewide Diaper Drive is underway, and there is still time to help. Your gift can provide comfort for a child and peace of mind for a parent or caregiver.

Did you know… your child’s brain is 90% developed by age 5?
In the early years, everyday experiences shape how children think, communicate, and connect. Talking, reading, playing, and responding to their needs all help build strong neural pathways that last a lifetime.
Those small, consistent moments matter more than we realize.
