Help Me Grow Long Island Focus Group Report

In 2023, two focus groups were completed, one in English and one in Spanish with a total of 10 parents. All participants had worked with Help Me Grow Long Island within 6 months of the focus group.

These focus groups are part of an expanding effort to build authentic parent engagement in Help Me Grow Long Island.
