What Can I Help With

The Reality

Children and teens can develop a broad range of mental health issues, and up to 50% of these may develop before age 14. In addition, issues with school, friendship and bullying, the birth of new siblings, and divorce may impact children in life-altering ways that can also affect mental health.

Below are some concerns children and adolescents may commonly experience.

ABANDONMENT ISSUES

When children begin attending school, they may face a variety of challenges. Difficulties in school could indicate a learning disability, problems with bullying, family issues, a mental health condition, or something else

ANXIETY

It’s not uncommon for anxiety to affect children, particularly as they begin adolescence. A counselor can help with anxiety. Children and Youth face just as much pressure that adults face. E.g. Performance anxiety, social interactions, perceived expectations, etc.

ATTENTION-DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY (ADHD)

ADHD is often diagnosed in children, and medication may be prescribed to manage symptoms. Counselling can also help children manage hyperactive or inattentive behaviors. Through varying methods and techniques, your child or youth can see additional triumph over this obstacle.

BULLYING

Bullying can occur in many contexts, but bullying in school may be especially common. If the behavior is unaddressed, victims may experience anxiety, depression, eating disorders, thoughts of self-harm, and difficulty completing schoolwork.
