Supporting Your Child's Mental Health (from MA DESE)

To support a child’s mental well-being, it takes patience, hard work, and the right resources. But you’re not alone. Go to HandholdMA to find strategies that have worked for other families, as well as a list of community and government resources. In addition, studies show that one of the best places for kids is at school, where they can socialize with their peers and caring adults.
