MANAGING MENTAL HEALTH
A recent report from the KFF shows that 1 out of 5 teens struggle with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Here’s how you can identify these conditions in your child and help ease their growing pains.
Be their friend - Make it a point to connect with your child from time to time - try to listen and not jump to solutions or judgements
Do things together - Find activities both you and your teen find fulfilling - shopping, spa days, extreme sports, road trips etc.
Encourage them to socialize - finding new friends can make things seem less bleak but, do make sure they know who the right crowd are.
Take courses - Courses and training programs like the Youth Mental Health First Aid training can help
