New Story Schools prides itself on being part of the vast and vibrant special education community in the areas we serve. However, we know that for most families, the need for services and support rarely ends with the school day. Luckily, most areas offer a lot of additional services for emotional support.

For our families in Virginia Beach, VA. here are just a few ideas of other resources.

Emotional Support Resources:

• National Alliance on Mental Illness: (NAMI) Coastal Virginia: is a large non-profit organization that works to raise awareness and offer support and resources for those suffering from a mental illness.
