Resources for School Personnel and Families
Children and Adolescents face different mental health challenges than adults — and even each other. The resources on this page are designed to help educate school personnel and families on the signs and symptoms of mental health issues, as well as give you next steps on what to do if you are concerned.
If you or someone you know is worried about an uncertain school year, virtual or in-person, we can help. The following resources were developed for students, parents, educators and school administrators, to assist those in need of mental health and wellness support during this time.
