Your voice is your super-power
Talking helps. You’re not alone.
Stamford has resources for every family because our kids’ mental health matters.
The Stamford Youth Mental Health Alliance is a city-wide network of 35+ organizations working together to improve access to mental health services for children and adolescents. Our goal is to build a greater understanding of the importance of youth mental wellness, ensure care is accessible and inclusive, and facilitate a comprehensive system of intervention and support for families across our community.

We say, Don’t carry it alone, We’ve got you, to remind kids and parents that you’re not alone, our community cares about you, and it’s ok to ask for help.

“For too long, mental health concerns have been associated with stigma and dismissed as ‘someone else’s problem,’ until it happens to you or someone in your family.
I am thrilled that through the Youth Mental Health Alliance, our essential human service providers have rolled up their sleeves to identify best practices and trauma-informed strategies that will improve the mental wellness of our community. This evidence-based approach will help build greater understanding of the importance of youth mental wellness and facilitate a comprehensive system of intervention and support.”
A kind word or gesture goes a long way. How will you brighten someone’s day for #WorldKindnessDay?

The foundation for a healthy mind is built in early childhood. When children have safe spaces to explore, play and express themselves, they develop the confidence to thrive.

Backpacks can be heavy, sometimes everything else can be too. If school or what’s going on in your head feels like too much, it’s okay to ask for help. You don`t have to carry it alone.

Thank you to @stamfordpublicschools and our community partners—Mayor’s Youth Leadership Council, Child Guidance Center of Southern Connecticut and @graymattersct—for sharing their expertise on student mental health at our Youth Mental Health Symposium this morning.
It was valuable to learn more about what our students are facing and the support they can access right in our schools, as well as expand the important conversation about youth mental health in Stamford.
