help do sth or help doing sth
The sentence I meet is " the law helps establish a harmonious society ".
But in my memory , the usage of " help " is " help doing".
Am I right?

After "help", the second verb can be in the infinitive "to + base verb" (helps to establish) or just the base verb (helps establish)
There is a separate special expression: "I can't help + -ing" which you may have seen. This means "I can't stop + ing."
