Mental Health Colorado offers help for kids and teens going back to school

COLORADO SPRINGS – by Bill Fulsom

Along with new clothes and supplies there is a suggestion for parents to pay attention to their kids mental health as they head back to school. The non-profit group Mental Health Colorado is offering some on-line help. Through MentalHealthColorado.org there are a few tools for parents to check on their kids mental wellness.

There is a section called screening. Within the category there is a list of numerous potential mental illness issues. Each one links to a short doctor approved screening test. It is not a diagnosis but it may offer some direction if a parent is concerned about their child’s mental wellness.
