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. Learn more about Stamford Youth Mental Health Alliance.
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.

Mayor Caroline Simmons
“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.”
It was amazing to see a recent study by @jamanetwork, highlighted in the @nytimes, show a decline in suicides among young people after the launch of the @988lifeline.
The Stamford Youth Mental Health Alliance is proud to work alongside the @stamfordhealthdept and the @stamfordpreventioncouncil to raise awareness of 988 in our community, because help is always available and you are never alone. If you’re in crisis or supporting someone who is, call or text 988 for compassionate care.
We all want to see our children grow up strong, happy and healthy. Start by making mental health part of the conversation, and visit our website to access our resource guide to find the support you need.

Protecting our children online has never been more important.
Sharon Walker Epps, CEO of @therowancenter, shares how their new digital platform, Kids Safe HQ, provides parents and caregivers with practical tools, conversation starters and up-to-date insights, and why digital safety should be as routine as wearing a seatbelt.
