When kids receive the right help early, treatment is more effective!

Help for Families

As we continue to gain knowledge about the complex landscape of mental health, here are resources to consider for your children's mental health needs. Information referral, emergency services, services for children, and family education contacts are provided.

If you are searching for help specific to your child's mental illness, try the searchable resource data base for therapists and psychiatrists specializing in ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, and Eating Disorders to name a few.

You may want to consider school based mental health services for your child. Please go to Help for Schools to learn more and to see if there is a mental health partner co-located at your child’s school.
