Finding the right mental health support for your child or youth can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? Who do you call? What happens after you reach out? Join us for a live, family-focused conversation about accessing mental health services through Vermont’s Designated Agencies. Three guest speakers from different Designated Agencies will join us to share their knowledge, experience, and answer questions about how families can get connected to mental health services. Our panelists will provide practical information designed to help families understand what to expect when seeking mental health services for their child or youth. We’ll talk about how to get started, what services may be available, how eligibility is determined, what the intake process looks like, and what families can do if they aren’t sure which service or program is right for their child.
Presenters:
- Danielle Mitchell, Director of Children, Youth and Family Services at Washington County Mental Health Services
- Doug Norford, Director of Child and Family Services at Rutland Mental Health
- Elizabeth Mitchell, Director of Home and Community Programs at Howard Center
