Family Support Services (FSS) is a resource navigation and community connection pilot funded through Help Me Grow King County in partnership with Best Starts for Kids.
FSS provides supportive case-management and resource navigation, hosts peer-support parenting groups and works to build referral relationships with community organizations who provide services supporting families from pregnancy to age five.

Referrals for Families in Need
Our online referral form is the primary way to submit a referral for a family you are working with. Client families are welcome to self-refer.
If you are unable to use the online form, referrals can be submitted via email by completing this printable referral form.
- Please email it to referrals@openarmsps.org, fax 206-257-4146 or by calling the Intake line at 206-866-0729 (Se habla Español).
Open Arms staff will contact you for an intake conversation within three to five days of completing the referral form. For families seekings short-term Birth Doula Services, we’ll connect you with a doula three months prior to your estimated due date.
Contact us if you have any questions!
