Children

Mental health is a top concern on parents’ minds these days, and for good reason. The CDC reports that in the 10 years leading up to the pandemic, mental health issues among children increased by 40%. These issues included depression symptoms such as sadness and hopelessness, as well as suicidal ideation. Moreover, the CDC reports that 9.4% of children live with anxiety disorders, 8.9% have behavioral issues, and 4.4% experience clinical depression.

But there’s hope. Mental health conditions in children are treatable. Therapy for children is an effective way to manage mental health and can be helpful whether your child is in crisis or just needs help managing their “big” feelings.
