Every parent wants the best for their child, and worries if he/she experiences emotional or behavioral challenges. Some ups and downs such as moodiness, arguing or challenging rules, are normal. However, when an emotional or behavioral change becomes extreme, or begins to upset life at home or at school, intervention may be necessary. Emotional problems are as common as physical ones, and taking care of both helps your child. The listings in the Parent Resource Guide provides information and resources for parents or
caregivers. The Mental Health Resource Guide provides additional information for residents of all ages. Questions? Contact the Wellesley Health Department, 781-235-0135.
