Services for teenagers
Adolescence is a time of transformation and self-discovery that can be difficult for young people and their parents alike. Mental health is an essential component of this transition, but knowing how to support your child through difficult times can be tricky. If your teenager needs help, we're here to help.
What to do if I think my teenager is experiencing a mental health issue?
Is your child or a young person around you behaving in a way that worries you? The first thing to do is observe the teenager and allow them to express themselves. Although teenagers going through difficult times may not necessarily think to talk to their parents first, do not hesitate to open the discussion.
Talk to them about what you feel and your concerns, and listen to theirs if they confide in you. Be sincere and remind them that you are there if needed. You can also suggest practicing an activity together that will help them better manage stress and emotions, such as sports, meditation, or art.
Watch for unusual behaviours or drastic changes, and remember that only a health professional can diagnose a mental health disorder.
