Talk To Us
Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, everyday life has changed and will continue to change for most people in the United States, often with little notice. People may struggle with changes to their routines (e.g., schools and child care closures, social distancing, home confinement), which may interfere with their sense of structure, predictability, and security.
Social distancing means that many of us don’t have the interaction with the teachers, after-school counselors, coaches or other adults that we usually communicate and rely on.
We are here to listen to you. Whether that be for advice, support or friendly conversation. We want to make sure that you are heard. Conversations will be private unless we legally have to pass on information. More information about that is below.

We will never pass on any conversations unless legally required but all conversations are saved in a database.
