The Village for Families & Children

When it comes to mental health, many children aren’t getting the help they need—and the pandemic has made things worse. Some go without counseling while others remain apart from their families due to lack of in-home supports.
The Village joined other partners today to discuss this public health crisis among children. Our medical director, Dr. Laine Taylor, describes how The Village is doing what we can to advocate for solutions to address this pressing need.
