Information for Family Members
The NBH Office of Consumer and Family Affairs has information
specialists and advocates in each community mental health center in
its service area to help consumers and their supporters. These
individuals can answer questions about Medicaid mental health
services and help resolve problems you have about treatment. They
are well connected to the local community and know about helpful
local resources. Their contact information is in the Medicaid
Consumer Handbook.
Information for Parents/Foster Parents
Children grow and change rapidly during their development years, so
diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders (emotional and behavioral
disturbances) must be viewed with these changes in mind. Some problems
are short-lived and don't need treatment. Others are persistent and very
serious, and parents should seek professional help for their children.
Diagnosing a child with a specific mental illness requires time,
observation and feedback from parents and/or individuals who spend time
with the child.
