Hear from Edward, a real parent who was able to see real results by utilizing the Urgent Crisis Center.
Urgent mental health care for ages 4-18
For youth between the ages of 4 and 18 (if still in high school), a mental health episode can be a scary situation – leading to confusing thoughts or worsening actions. And for both parent and child, facing a mental health concern can feel extremely lonely. Like there’s nowhere to go. That it’s embarrassing. Like the distance between getting care and getting better is so far apart.
Wellmore is changing all of this. If any behavioral issue feels urgent to the parent or the child, Wellmore is here to help with immediate mental health care.
