OYYAS School Closure Resource Guide

The purpose of this guide is to share more broadly some of the youth and family resources we have complied for our Office of Youth & Young Adult Services providers.

If you are concerned about a young person who is using substances or concerned that they may be using substances, please go to the Massachusetts Substance Use Helpline. The Helpline is the only statewide, public resource for finding substance use treatment and recovery services. Helpline services are free and confidential.

QUICK LINKS

Navigating these resources requires internet, here are some resources:
