Finding Resources for Housing, Employment, Childcare, Healthcare and Other Family Supports such as SSI/SSDI

Supporting your child’s mental health needs and working to get them connected to the supports and services they need to be successful can sometimes feel like a full time job!

Unfortunately, as parents, we usually already have a full plate of other responsibilities such as providing for our family’s basics needs including a place to live, food on the table, and a safe, warm and loving environment for our kids.

In recognition of the importance of these other responsibilities, we wanted to be sure provide some basic information about resources that may be helpful if you are in need of housing, employment, quality childcare, health care coverage or low cost medications.
