Resources
Ensuring that parents and caregivers, and the professionals who support them, have the right resources is crucial to the health and wellness of children, youth and young adults who have mental health and substance use challenges - and their families. We have organized our resources below based on specific topics and roles in the community to help you find the information you're looking for quickly and easily.
If you are looking for mental health or substance use treatment, SAMHSA's treatment locator map (to the right) allows you to search by state, city or zip code.
We also encourage you to watch the video at the bottom of this page to learn more about family peer support. You can find and connect with our chapters that provide family peer support here .
