During this time, our team will be taking a planned pause to rest and recharge. We will reopen on Monday, January 5, and will respond to messages as soon as possible after we return.
If you are seeking immediate information or support while we are closed, we encourage you to visit the Resources section of our website at https://www.mhaedu.org/helplines, where you can find community resources, crisis supports, and helpful information available outside of our office hours.
