Here's what to know (ctmirror.org) — Families in Waterbury have access to a walk-in urgent crisis center for kids’ mental health needs, plus mobile crisis help by calling 211 or 988. State advocates are launching a campaign so more parents and educators know these services can address issues from anxiety to self-harm, and they stress watching for changes in sleep, mood, and social habits as early warning signs.
