Parents in northern Nevada facing the challenges of helping a child or teenager with mental health issues often encounter difficulties in finding the necessary resources. Recognizing this common struggle, Carson City Juvenile Services took proactive steps to address the issue by organizing a gathering on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, in Carson City.
The primary goal of this initiative is to provide much-needed support to families navigating the complex landscape of mental health, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated challenges.
Michelle Entz, an employee at Carson City Juvenile Services, emphasized their commitment to assisting families in need. She reassured parents that the organization’s mission is not to place blame or get children into trouble but rather to offer unwavering support during these trying times.
This gathering serves as a testament to the community’s dedication to addressing mental health issues, promoting well-being, and ensuring that families have access to the resources and assistance they require. It is a significant step towards building a stronger and more supportive network for mental health in northern Nevada.
