    Supporting the Emotional   

      Health of Young People

​

Today’s children and teens face an increasing number of challenges that can be overwhelming—not just for them, but for the parents and caregivers who love them. Each stage of development brings its own struggles, and as young people grow, they are continuously learning how to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and navigate a complex world.

​

When emotions or behaviors begin to interfere with a young person's happiness, academic performance, relationships, or daily functioning, counseling can offer valuable support. Therapy provides a safe space to process difficult emotions, build coping skills, and regain a sense of balance and well-being.

• Persistent feelings of sadness, worry, fear, or hopelessness

• Changes in sleep patterns—either sleeping too much or experiencing insomnia

• Noticeable changes in eating habits or weight

• Decline in personal hygiene or changes in appearance

• Increased conflict with family members, friends, teachers, or school staff

• Difficulty focusing, remembering things, or staying motivated to learn

• A sudden drop in grades or missing school assignments

• Loss of interest in hobbies or activities they once enjoyed
