Our Referral System
Seeking mental health support can be a complex and discouraging. Our team aims to change this by providing free referral services, mental health service contacts, and supports on children's mental health. We encourage you to review our pages labeled "Child Info" for summaries on youth mental health symptoms, "Services" for local contacts offering treatment, and "Supports" for additional local services. You can also schedule a meeting with our team through "Contact Us" or attend a virtual support group to receive personalized guidance on finding the appropriate mental health professional in your area.
