Mental and Physical Health and Community Resources 

Concern over the virus can make children and families anxious.  While there is uncertainty about the spread of the disease in the US, acknowledging the level of concern in any family member is appropriate.  The resources below will help you help children cope with anxiety by providing accurate prevention information and facts without causing undue alarm. School counselors are the first point of contact for any academic, personal, or social-emotional concerns. 

If you are in need of assistance, please call Fairfax County's Coordinated Services Planning (CSP) at 703-222-0880.   The multi lingual staff can assist with any difficulties you are facing - including food, shelter, employment, financial assistance, healthcare and other needs.
