When More Support May Be Needed
Resources Are Helpful, but Some Situations Need Professional Care
Parent resources can support learning, reflection, communication, routines, and behavior planning. However, some situations may require licensed clinical support, formal assessment, medical care, psychiatric care, school-based evaluation, or emergency intervention.
If a child, teen, parent, or family is experiencing safety concerns, self-harm risk, suicidal thoughts, abuse, neglect, severe emotional distress, or immediate danger, contact emergency or crisis support right away.
If there is immediate danger, call 911. For mental health crisis support, call or text 988.
