What should I do first?
I think I need help? You might want to start by asking your family, doctor, or a school social worker to help you so that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help.
In Connecticut, you can always call 211—it’s the free 24-hour helpline. They can walk you through the steps to help you figure out what agencies in your community can help you. 211 will help with anything from food & shelter to mental health. There is also the crisis intervention available.
