Children's Hospital Colorado Parent Support [+]
Before You Build
Created in partnership with Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Pediatric Mental Health Institute, this kit is designed to support parents while their child is receiving care for a mental health concern. Parents and caregivers often experience high levels of stress, uncertainty, and isolation during this time.
According to the CDC, 1 in 5 children experiences a mental health disorder in a given year, and hospitalizations for youth mental health needs have risen sharply in the past decade. While treatment focuses on helping children heal, it’s equally important to provide comfort and encouragement to the adults standing beside them.
As you assemble this kit, take a moment to reflect on the strength and resilience of parents navigating this journey. Your time and care help them feel seen, supported, and not alone.
