What is Washington’s Mental Health Referral Service for Children and Teens?

We connect families with mental health providers in your community who accept new patients, work with your insurance and fit your child’s treatment needs . The Referral Service is accessible to children and teens 17 and under living in Washington State.

This free service is funded by Washington State, and Seattle Children’s operates it. See our program highlights from fiscal year 2019-2020.
