Do you find yourself worrying about your teenager?
Are they withdrawn, depressed, and/or anxious?
Do you sense that something is wrong but you can’t quite put your finger on it?
Are they having thoughts of wanting to die or just not exist?
Are they struggling to engage socially after a world shut down by Covid-19? Do they seem lonely?
Does it seem like anything can set them off?
Do you wish they shared more with you?
Are they either very defensive or overly critical of themselves?
This is not an easy time to be a teenager.
In addition to the usual challenges of growing into themselves, they are also surrounded by threats from Covid-19, wildfires, school shootings, and a country deeply impacted by political division. It can be so easy for them to feel overwhelmed, fearful, and even shut down. It’s just too much.
That’s where we step in to support your teen. By offering a consistent, protected, and caring space, we help them connect with their therapist and then with their own emotions and needs. We will help them organize and understand what is happening inside, and how to share this with others. We will support your teen in feeling less lonely, more connected, and more secure with themselves and others. Our desire is to help them feel safe inside their body and able to walk more confidently into relationships and the world.
Take the first step.
