"We're working to bridge the gap between crisis care and community support, helping kids avoid unnecessary trips to the ED by providing real-time evaluations and safety planning. It's about letting families know we're here when they need us most."

"With the growing need for mental health services, challenges like limited access to clinicians and cultural misunderstandings are becoming more apparent. The focus is on bridging these gaps, supporting families, and fostering stronger relationships within the New London community."
