Alabama families: Tell us about your child's experience with mental health services
The Alabama Education Lab is searching for parents, families and advocates who are helping a child with mental or behavioral health concerns.

We recently wrote about Alabama's efforts to increase wraparound and on-site mental health services in schools. Does your school offer any therapy or counseling services? Do you feel your child has received appropriate support at school for any mental or behavioral health concerns? What would be helpful for you and your family, or a child you know? Students -- what do adults need to know about what it's like to have a mental health concern in school?

Please feel free to answer the questions most relevant to you. This form is confidential. If you are OK with us publishing your answers, along with your name and location, let us know in the appropriate box below.

A reporter may be in touch if we have any follow-up questions or to see if you are comfortable submitting a photo or video to accompany a story. If you don't want to be contacted or have your responses published, please still give us valid phone and email addresses -- they help us be good journalists and make sure you're a real person! We won't publish or share your contact information.

Questions? We'd love to hear them! Email Education Editor Ruth Serven Smith at rserven@al.com.
