It’s never too late.

Know that it’s never too late to seek help for yourself or a child. Concerns likely turn into problems that do not go away. It is always best to get help before it gets worse.

WE NEED TO TALK

Listen and support others.

Be a resource when others need to share concerns about behavioral health problems. Speak up if you have concerns about a child. Contact us if there is a need for help.

Voice your concerns.

Be comfortable and confident in expressing concerns to your pediatrician, family doctor or school personnel. You are not strange. You are not alone. You are not at fault. Just start talking.

Be vulnerable… and share.

Chances are your situation or feelings are not that uncommon. Begin the dialogue about how behavioral health affects you personally—the challenges and successes in your life—and you’ll be surprised just how relative the topic is. Share in person, on social media, in PTA meetings—make your story known!
