Is your child struggling with behavioral or emotional challenges? You are not alone. Many families face difficult seasons, and seeking support is a sign of strength.
Even very young children—babies, toddlers, and preschoolers—experience and remember stressful events like any major life changes, such as divorce, moving cities, traumatic experiences, or the loss of a parent or caregiver. The first section in this directory includes providers who specialize in supporting very young children and their caregivers through these experiences.
Key support for parents & caregivers
As you care for your child, remember to care for yourself, too — like putting on your own oxygen mask first. Organizations like the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) offer free support and education for parents and caregivers so you can feel supported, informed, and empowered. You are not alone.
NAMI National Alliance on Mental Health
