Request for Support Form : Please complete this form if your child or family is in need of assistance.
If you are looking for counseling services to address mental health issues related to anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship issues, family conflict, grief or loss, we help in navigating community resources to locate the most appropriate provider for your child or family. We work with a network of providers that offer services in our schools and in the community.
We can also provide information and resources for financial concerns, food instability, housing instability, recreation programs and assistance for parents and caregivers.
If your child needs someone to talk to after hours, they can text TALK to 741741 and receive immediate support via text or they can call the KidsHelpLine at 716-834-1144. Both of these support services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you are in an unsafe situation, please contact 911
