The HOPE program is a free resource that connects early educators with mental health consultants to support children, ages 0 to 8, before challenges can escalate. By calling the HOPE helpline at (844) 678-2227 or submitting an online request,  educators receive expert guidance within 48 hours, including classroom observations, professional development and referrals for behavioral health services. You can help by sharing this valuable resource with your patient families, schools and child care centers in your community.
