COVID Rapid Response Services
We know that the pandemic has resulted in a lot of anxiety and fear for all of us. Some people are experiencing debilitating mental health or substance use disorder symptoms for the first time in their lives. Those in recovery have found that their symptoms were worsened by all the stress.

Call (603) 889-6147 and tell the Client Access professional that you would like to find out about COVID Rapid Response.

When your appointment is scheduled, you may have an option of coming into the office or speaking to your provider through video or telephone.

Peer Support Agencies in NH
Peer support consists of supportive interactions based on shared experience among people and are intended to assist people to understand their potential to achieve their personal goals. Interactions are based on trust, respect, and mutual support. Peer support agencies accomplish this by providing choice, using non-medical approaches to help, sharing decision making, encouraging informed decision making about all aspects of people’s lives, challenging perceived self-limitations, etc.
Currently they have phone support and warmlines running to help.
Talking to Kids About COVID-19
The Coronavirus Pandemic is a difficult topic for parents to explain to any child, perhaps even more so when the child has Autism Spectrum Disorder or other special needs. Many of these children process information in a concrete manner, prefer established routines, and need support to understand and interpret emotions.
Here is a simple and easy booklet to support you in these conversations.
