Mental Health Referral Service

Washington’s Mental Health Referral Service for Children and Teens connects families with mental health and behavioral health providers in the community who are accepting new patients. Within about two weeks, families receive information for one or two recommended providers who are a good match for their child’s individual needs. Families can call 833-303-5437 or submit an online request form. Learn more.
