Start with your Child's Medical Doctor
You know your child best. When your child's behavior or emotions suddenly change or if your child's emotions or behaviors seem different from his/ her peers; you may want to speak to your child's doctor.
Arrange a complete physical for your child to rule out illness or physical causes. Ask for a referral if needed. Call your health insurance provider to check what services and providers are covered under your plan.

Partner with Your Child's School
Schools can be a very helpful resource. Schools are not mental health providers but they do serve children with mental health challenges and they often have connections with mental health providers and other community supports. Depending on the capacity of your child's school district, there may also be school-linked or school-based mental health professionals who can support your child. Call the Special Education / Student Services/ EBD office in your child's school district to find the resources and supports that will help your child succeed at school!
