Project Interface: Mental Health Help in Westford for kids, adults and families
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011Project INTERFACE is now available to Westford residents. Project INTERFACE collects and categorizes a wide range of valuable resources related to mental health and wellness for the benefit of the general public – children, adults and families – as well as educators and mental health professionals. In addition to the resources on this web site, Project INTERFACE maintains a mental health and wellness referral help line Monday through Friday, 9 am-5 pm, at 617-332-3666 x 411 or toll free at 1-888-244-6843 x411.
This is a free, confidential referral service for participating communities. Callers are matched from our extensive database of licensed mental health providers. Each referral meets the location, insurance, and specialty needs of the caller. If you or anyone you know in Westford is worried about their child, please let them know about this very valuable tool. The website is: www.projectinterface.org. And again, the phone number is listed above.
Navigating through the mental health care system can be so challenging. Finding therapists and psychiatrists who can help with issues that children may be facing is not easy. It can be so discouraging when you are facing difficulties to not be able to get the help you so desperately need. By being a participating community, our residents (as well as any parent of students who attend Westford Public Schools) can call the help line and speak to a health care provider. Parents (or school personnel acting on a parent’s behalf) can let them know the insurance, and let them do the ‘homework’ to find someone who is available to see the child. Besides the helpline, the website itself is filled with a great deal of information for parents and educators.
