Does my child have a mental health concern?
Have a talk with your child to find out how they are doing. Give them your full attention. Listen carefully, repeat what you heard and ask if you got it right. When they feel heard and understood, they’re more likely to share with you.
How to get help:

If you are a new family to CRS this year, or still feel a bit disconnected from moving into our community within the past year, we invite you to join us Wednesday evening, January 27 at 7:00 p.m. for our New Family Virtual Meet and Greet! Mrs. Pierson will be with us as well as a few veteran CRS families to answer questions or show you any necessary resources. It will also be a way to simply connect with others in our Churchill community. Meeting information is below.
