Story Behind the Curve
What's Helping?
- Strong community partnerships
- Increase in concern for children's mental health since COVID19 pandemic
What's Hurting?
- With Dare County being a tourism destination, it is difficult to attend community events without visitors. So, a small amount of workbooks are given away to visitors, instead of locals.
- Stigma still impacts families when considering types of help to reach out to regarding mental health problems.
