If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988.

988 can send out Mobile Response Teams (MRTs). MRTs are staffed by behavioral health professionals who travel to the individual experiencing a crisis and provide assessment, stabilization, and, if needed, triage the individual to a higher level of care.Children’s Mental Health
Children’s Mental Health (CMH) is involved in helping children and youth who don’t have Medicaid through the CMH Regional Mental Health offices.
When a child has a serious emotional disturbance (SED), growing up can be incredibly challenging. It can feel like every step towards adulthood is difficult. Families of these children often feel overwhelmed, and parents may feel alone, helpless, and unsure about what to do. That’s where YES comes in. YES offers services and support to increase the abilities of children with SED and their families to live, work, learn, and be active members of their community.
