Starting college is exciting, but it’s also stressful. With this new independence, young adults are faced with managing classes, a social life and extra-curricular activities without day-to-day support from parents. For some, so many changes and new responsibilities all at once can trigger anxiety, depression or other mental health issues. For students who need support, we’ve developed a range of evidence-based programs to help college kids and young adults thrive.
With a new school year around the corner, now is the time to schedule an evaluation for the upcoming year. To book an evaluation, please reach out to us today.
FOR CAREGIVERS
College Mental Health Skills
How can we prepare our kids for the challenges that that college brings?
One increasingly popular answer is to teach them skills derived from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). DBT helps strengthen emotional regulation and problem-solving skills and can help students handle stress and make effective decisions for a positive college experience.
FOR EDUCATORS
How Does Anxiety Affect Kids in School?
Sometimes anxiety is easy for teachers to spot— like when a child is feeling nervous before a test at school. But that’s not always the case. Anxiety in the classroom can look like something else entirely — an upset stomach, disruptive or angry behavior, ADHD, or even a learning disorder. Here are some tips to help educators identify anxiety, and help kids thrive.
FOR CLINICIANS
BIPOC Resources
The Child Mind Institute is proud to observe Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Month this July. The trauma of racial injustice has significant, long-term impacts on the mental health of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities and these same communities frequently lack access to high-quality, culturally conscious mental health care.
