So many of us wait to seek help until we are in full-on crisis mode. I got permission from my daughter to share our story of seeking help when she was in middle school. There was no crisis, but I knew she needed someone outside of our family unit to talk to. It was such a powerful experience for all of us. My hope is that sharing our experience may encourage other families to be proactive in finding resources for their teens.
If you are considering a coach for your high achiever teen that is overwhelmed, email me at keystocourage@gmail.com
It's such a joy to empower these kids with the tools they need to alleviate anxiety while maximizing their potential.
If your teen needs help with depression or to process trauma please consider finding a professional therapist in your area. You very well may save their life. Seeking help is a sign of strength.
