Parent Connection is based in Huntsville, Texas, but if you are outside the area don't let that stop you from contacting us if your child or family needs help. It may be possible that we can provide helpful information or contacts regardless of where you live in the United States or Canada.
Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health is a "parent-run non-profit organization focused on the needs of children and youth with emotional, behavioral or mental disorders and their families." You can learn more about the organization by reading the "About Us" section of the national website.
The web address for the national office is www.ffcmh.org. There is a state-by-state listing of State and Chapter offices on the website.
The state office of FFCMH is located in Austin, Texas. You will find links to Texas Regional Centers and Chapters at www.txffcmh.org.
We are in the process of developing the Parent Connection website. We hope you'll check back often for new information that will be forthcoming.
In the interium, if your child is having academic OR behavioral problems in school, you can begin to educate yourself about laws that govern children's right to a Free and Appropriate Education at www.adhd-add.info. While this web site addresses many ADHD issues, the state and federal law applies to all children with disabilities. Additional information pertaining to this topic is readily available in the Legal Issues and Resource section of www.adhd-add.info/library.html.
