FOCUS ON THE MENTAL WELLNESS OF OUR YOUTH!
Social distancing has, for many, meant remote learning, no recreational sports, no birthday parties or school dances; no group outlet. For youth already struggling with grades or confidence or belonging, the pandemic has exacerbated their mood swings, emotional withdrawal, substance use or behavioral conditions. Families need to know that there is help available.
The New Jersey Department of Children and Families’ (DCF) Division of the Children’s System of Care has free or low cost access to behavioral health support 24/7/365.
