Conversations with CMHRC: Parent and child classes and groups

Our one-hour virtual groups are designed to provide hands-on, real-life resources and skills to help families thrive. Groups are facilitated by mental health professionals from Virginia Treatment Center for Children and Cameron K. Gallagher Mental Health Resource Center. Sessions include a presentation and open Q&A session where participants can ask questions anonymously through the chat function.

The Cameron K. Gallagher Mental Health Resource Center is not a crisis provider. If you feel your child is having a mental health crisis, call your local mental health agency (community services board), call 911 or take your child to the nearest emergency room for evaluation.

How you can help your child feel seen in times of uncertainty

  • Starting new traditions (watch a TV series together, take nightly walks, hold a regular game night, etc.)
  • Getting them a little extra support when they need it
  • Finding safe ways to connect via social media
  • Validating their feelings (fear, sadness, disappointment)
  • Keeping a routine
  • Encouraging them to express their feelings in an age-appropriate way (could be drawing for younger kids, writing for older kids)
