When you’re worried about your young person
Need someone right now?
Call or text 988 — any hour, any day. Or text CONNECT to 686868 to reach Kids Help Phone. In an emergency, call 911.
Noticing your own child is harder than noticing anyone else’s. Not because you’re less observant — because you’re more afraid of what you might find. That fear is what makes people wait.
Our free caregiver sessions are about what to do instead of waiting: how to start the conversation, what to say when they answer, and how to keep going when help takes longer than it should.
What the sessions are like
Two hours on a Saturday. Food provided. Nobody is asked to share anything about their own family, and you can step out at any time.
You’ll leave with a caregiver guide, a local resource list, and people you can call.
