There are services available in the community if you need support for any mental health issue.

Pediatric Psychiatry Collaborative-(PPC) is funded through NJ Department of Children and Families, is a statewide program that aims to improve the comfort and competence of primary care providers to screen, identify and manage children with mental/behavioral health and substance use concerns.  Participating pediatric primary care providers agree to conduct universal standardized mental/behavioral and substance use screenings at patient visits. They can refer those they identify as needing support to their regional PPC Hub, and will then work one-on-one with the patients' family to conduct intake, assess a child's level of need and provide families with referral to appropriate community resources.
