Missed the Mental Health & Youth Panel?

We had a fantastic panel with engaging and informative panelists. Our panelists even offered themselves as ongoing resources for our church. Here is more information on the panelists, their specialties, and how you can connect with them!

Trouble Finding Teen Therapists?

It's not just you having trouble finding mental health counselors and therapists! In 2019, there were only 14 practicing child and teen therapists for every 100,000 children. But there is hope through a program called Mental Health First Aid, and it works!

It can be frustrating to search for therapists and counselors!

Online Resource Guide

From family liturgies to mental health resources, there's something for everyone on this list! We're always adding suggestions, so please let us know if you have local, national, or online resources to share with other caregivers!
