Mental Health Resources for Parents

As a parent you play an important role in the development of your child

Through proper education and awareness, we believe we can stop the stigma surrounding mental health so that our youth can receive the support they need. While schools remain the most natural location for mental health education and programming, we believe that parents still play a vital role in the mental health of their child. Based on research, we have provided a list of programs that can help you identify mental health issues within your child and assist your child in coping with issues, along with seeking additional help if needed. These programs not only give you the tools you need to identify and provide support to your child(ren), but also aim to give you ways to create an open, positive dialogue surrounding mental health to prevent any crisis. Please use the portals below for more information.
