Ask a Child Therapist
Ask a Child Therapist focuses on getting parents and caregivers the information they want on timely children's mental health topics. Each month, one of Family Service & Guidance Center's dedicated professionals will address questions about the topic of the month.
- Each week, we'll post a short video to Facebook and our website in which an FSGC staff member will address a question sent to us by a parent/caregiver.
- On the fourth Thursday of the month, we'll host a FREE Zoom Q&A session. FSGC's staff member will address all the questions about the topic of the month sent in by parents/caregivers. All you have to do to sit in on the Q&A is click the Zoom link on our Facebook and below in the calendar of presentations. No registration is required!
