NCDHHS is partnering with Alliance Health and Somethings to provide mental health support to teens across North Carolina. This initiative aims to offer much-needed support to youth impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Somethings is a mental health platform that connects teens and young adults with Certified Peer Support Specialist mentors and can provide referrals to licensed therapists.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Our staff is working endlessly to get supplies to our families from all over the state. The biggest thing we really need right now is donations coming in to help us purchase things as people request them. I literally have been working directly with DSS offices to find Foster families and identify the needs.
