Family and RMC Resources
A starting place when everything feels overwhelming
National resources cannot replace the support families deserve in their own communities, but they can open doors, answer questions, and help a family take the next step.
If there is an immediate safety concern, call or text 988
Families should also contact hospital social workers, local churches and faith communities, township and city offices, community-action agencies, and state health and human-services departments. Availability and eligibility vary, so ask early and ask often.
