They are providing phone consultation and telehealth virtual sessions to children and families. Not only do they wish to continue to provide support to schools, but the parents/caregivers who feel the need for support with parenting stress or even their child’s mental health or behavioral needs. Due to the pandemic, they are also screening families for health risk. This enables them to make decisions around the most high risk situations where an in-person response might be necessary. If you need support... Dial 211, 1 and 1 again to reach the crisis team.
