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.

STAMFORD, CT MAYOR CAROLINE SIMMONS

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.”

“When our schools, families and communities work together to support student mental health, we create the condition that allows for our children to learn grow and thrive.” - Adrian B Talley, Ed.D., Superintendent of Stamford Public Schools

Our youth spend a lot of time in school, making it an important place for them to feel safe, supported and connected to the care they need. 

We're grateful to our partner, @familycenters, for helping bring mental health care and other essential services directly into Stamford's public schools.

A trusted adult can be a parent, caregiver, teacher, coach, counselor, family member or another person your child feels safe talking to.

Help your child identify the people in their support system before they need them. Knowing who to turn to can make asking for help feel a little easier.
