Students face a variety of stressors each day. Maybe your child will never be in need of one of these resources, it is possible a friend might be. Please take a look at some local and national resources to give you more information on common mental health topics your child may face.

If your child is in need of help, call the 24 Hour Crisis Hotline at 1-877-422-5939 and Lifepath Systems (Behavioral Health Crisis Services in Collin County) will dispatch their Mobile Crisis Unit to your home for an evaluation. For more information, please visit www.lifepathsystems.org.
