ChildSavers shared informational resources about our Immediate Response (IR) 24/7, 365 days/year hotline (804-305-2420), It Takes a Village (ITAV) perinatal mental health program, and our Child Development Services at the 5th annual WAMD (W**e, Art, Music, Dance) Festival presented by the and hosted at the .academy.of.ballet. We believe the arts have profound impacts when interwoven with health and well-being.
In this picture, Monica helped us staff our ChildSavers table. She called the IR hotline for grief and loss following the sudden, traumatic loss of a close friend during middle school. As the only local hotline serving non-clinical yet urgent, as well as clinical, youth mental health needs, our free IR hotline not only made a difference in the immediate aftermath but also ripples outward.
Monica now shares her lived experiences with our IR hotline so that youth know they are not alone and support is available from ChildSavers. Thank you to Monica, her mother, and our friends at the WAMD Festival for having us! ❤
