Child Mind Institute : "If you have a child struggling with mental health or learning challenges, getting sound, clear information is the first step to getting good care. The Child Mind Institute aims to empower you with the resources you need to make good decisions for your child. Whether you're investigating your concerns or researching a particular diagnosis, we offer the most current thinking from experts and the experience of families who've been through it."
For non-emergency emotional and mental health support: School counselors, school psychologists, and district social workers are available to answer questions and connect families to mental health and family support resources in the community during the regular school year.
Anyone with a medical or psychiatric emergency should call 911 immediately.
