Growing up comes with challenges – and when those challenges arise for youth, parents often feel overwhelmed and alone. However, Greater Manchester is blessed with countless services and opportunities for youth and families. These resources not only address many of the common challenges requiring outside support (substance use and abuse, depression, educational challenges, etc), but many also provide critical community-engagement opportunities for young people. This list is only a sampling of the services available locally to youth and families – if you are looking for something not listed here, check with your school guidance or student assistance department, or contact — Makin’ It Happen Coalition at (603) 206-6661 or http://www.MIH4u.org . Together, we can create a community that supports the health and success of all youth and families!
