Something else to check out during this stressful time is Your Life Iowa. There are 6 different topic choices including mental health. There is a live chat via phone or text and anyone can request resources, more information or immediate help. While majority of this information doesn’t pertain to children, there is a section under mental health that has specific information pertaining to children. This resource could be helpful during any time. Please feel free to save it for future use in case you ever find yourself or someone you know to be in need of some additional support.
