find mental health support for your child

The Mental Health Resource Connection (MHRC) helps families find mental health services that meet their child’s needs. Our behavioral health specialists can connect you with resources at Dayton Children’s or in the community based on your child’s needs, insurance, location and available services.

Families can request help directly by completing the form below. After you submit the form, a member of our team will contact you within five business days to provide resources or to learn more about your child’s needs and help identify appropriate resources.

You can also use our mental health resource finder to find services near you, talk to your child’s primary care provider or call us at 937-641-4780, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
