The Harbor: If you’re looking for help with your child, or if you have questions about your child’s mental health, behavior, or possible drug use, we can help.

The Mobile Crisis Team: The Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) was created to provide crisis intervention and support to Nevada families dealing with a behavioral or mental health crisis. For so long, families have had no choice but to go to the emergency room due to lack of resources or knowledge of available resources.

MCRT is here to help. We’re mobile so we come to you. We also provide help over the phone.

Social Skill Resources for Parents: If you believe raising well-adjusted, resilient kids is harder than ever, you’re not alone! And your belief is supported by research looking at all aspects of social skills.

According to a study by Jean Twenge at San Diego State University, “... more and more young people experience poor mental health and psychopathology, possibly due to an increased focus on money, appearance, and status rather than on community and close relationships.”

And while this has been the trend for over 50 years, it seems to be accelerating.

We know from multiple research studies conducted over the past 40 years that children who master social emotional learning can establish positive relationships and are more likely to experience positive well-being. We also know that social and emotional skills are exceptional predictors of success at school and work.

For example, this study looked at college graduation rates for students with strong social competence in Kindergarten.
