Commuity Support for Parents
The Department of Behavioral Health offers a Parent Support Program to enhance the resilience of District families by providing coping tools and consultation services that help parents manage the stressors they are experiencing.
To select a community-based mental health provider that best meets you or your child’s needs, please call the Access HelpLine at 1-888-793-4357 and talk with a mental health professional who will guide you through the process.
Parents may also view the Behavioral Health Resource Link which contains information about available services and supports in the District, including housing, employment, legal services, and substance abuse treatment programs for young adults.
