Behavioral Health Services for Children and Youth


Many Rhode Island parents and caregivers find that they need to help a child in their care handle a wide range of struggles, such as interpersonal challenges, challenges at school, using substances, etc. If you're experiencing this, know that you are not alone — and know that helpful resources are available.


Helping a child can be overwhelming at times. That’s why we talked with clinicians, behavioral health professionals, and — most importantly — caregivers who have faced the same kinds of challenges. Their input helped us create this collection, so families don’t have to start from scratch when facing a new challenge.

Please use this information to guide you in finding support, resources, and answers to many of your questions.
