How Can Parents and Teachers Help A Depressed Child?
There are multiple factors that can be contributing to the cause of your child’s depression. Since it ranges anywhere from situational to underlying genetic factors and biochemical factors, it will be determined by the our therapists which direction to take and how to best support your child. Many times, counseling the child directly is not necessary. We can work with just the parent to address a child’s depression.
It is important that a teacher who notices any of the listed symptoms communicate this to the parent(s) so that immediate action can be taken.
We recognize the critical importance of not only including the parents in the counseling sessions but also supporting their needs as well. Divorce, family death, life stressors can all impact family members. We have counselors available to come alongside the parents when their own life stressors are weighing them down. We want the whole family to feel good and enjoy life.
