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.

Noticing changes in your child’s mood, energy or behavior is important. Checking in helps them feel supported, even before they’re ready to share.

Being kind to yourself is just as important as being kind to others. Treat yourself with the same care you’d give a friend.
