Child & Adolescent Counselling
Child & Adolescent Counselling
“ Mental health in childhood means reaching developmental and emotional milestones, and learning healthy social skills and how to cope when there are obstacles.”
Parenting today can be hard, but with the right support, it can be made easy and have a positive effect on the emotional well being of your children. The stepping stone for supporting your children begins with fostering their mental & developmental growth.
Adolescence is an equally critical period for mental, social and emotional wellbeing. During this time the brain goes through significant developmental changes, creating neural pathways and behavior patterns that will last later in life. Adolescents developing brains along with hormonal changes make them more prone to depression and sometimes more likely to engage in risky and thrill seeking behaviors.
Counselling on mental, social and emotional health needs of this age group is an important factor.
When To Bring Your Child & Adolescent For Counselling
Mental health problems can feel like you’ve been blindsided when your child or teen is showing signs of struggle. As parents you need additional support, if your child or teen’s behavior or emotional distress is becoming disruptive to daily life then it’s time to bring in professional help.
Consider seeking help if your child’s behavior persists for a few weeks or longer
