Healthcare providers

Ways to work together

• Refer a family. Give the family the Get Help page, or email howdy@carrygoodforward.com with a general description of the need. Please do not send protected health information by email; the Foundation contacts families with their consent and asks only for what it needs.
• Keep resource kits in your practice. Bilingual mental health guides covering warning signs, how to ask for help, local low-cost providers, and crisis lines, for the moment a family needs them.
• Host or co-lead a caregiver workshop. Free sessions for parents and caregivers on childhood anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and stress at home, led by licensed clinicians.
• Serve families the Foundation supports. Where the Foundation helps reduce the cost of an evaluation or treatment, the service is delivered by a licensed provider. Practices interested in being part of that network can start the conversation by email.
• Contribute expertise. Psychologists, counselors, and social workers who want to review a resource guide or lead a workshop topic.

What providers should know

• The Foundation is a charitable organization, not a provider, payer, or referral service. It does not diagnose, treat, or guarantee that any family will receive funding or services.
• The Foundation is the charitable foundation of Amlea Behavioral Healthcare, a behavioral healthcare practice. The two are distinct entities, and referring a family to the Foundation is not a referral to Amlea. See Transparency.
• The Foundation does not publish or share information about the families it hears from, and does not list a practice as a partner without agreement.
