Talking helps. You’re not alone.
Stamford has resources for every family because our kids’ mental health matters.

The Stamford Youth Mental Health Alliance is a city-wide network of 35+ organizations working together to improve access to mental health services for children and adolescents.

STAMFORD, CT MAYOR CAROLINE SIMMONS

Mayor Caroline Simmons

For too long, mental health concerns have been associated with stigma and dismissed as ‘someone else’s problem,’ until it happens to you or someone in your family.

I am thrilled that through the Youth Mental Health Alliance, our essential human service providers have rolled up their sleeves to identify best practices and trauma-informed strategies that will improve the mental wellness of our community. This evidence-based approach will help build greater understanding of the importance of youth mental wellness and facilitate a comprehensive system of intervention and support.

Brittany Dube, MPH, CHES, of the @stamfordhealthdept shares resources for parents and caregivers, including @988lifeline and local QPR trainings that can help you support your children if they’re struggling with their mental health. You are not alone – help is always available when you need it.

Children of all ages can experience mental health issues and almost two-thirds aren't getting the help they need. Nonprofits in the Stamford Youth Mental Health Alliance say, "Don't carry it alone. We've got you!"

Support is available right here in our community. If you think there's a problem, call 211 for mobile crisis intervention services or visit our website for resources available in our community → link in bio.
