IT'S OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP

The Children’s Behavioral Health Bureau assists Arlington children and adolescents in overcoming their mental health challenges. We work with children and adolescents who experience stress, anxiety, substance use, feelings of hopelessness, depression, and other behavioral and other emotional challenges.

Our services are trauma informed and culturally responsive. Our strategies are individualized for youth and their families. Developed and monitored to help youth overcome difficulties and achieve success.

Services are available to Arlington County youth and their families who meet criteria, prioritization, and complete an intake and financial assessment.
