Mental health skills for kids and teens

We’ve found that child and family education is a critical part of children doing well. Whether your child or teen comes for a few therapy sessions or sees us over a period of years, we’ll help them and you learn skills that will help throughout life. These skills include:

• Coping with stress and challenges

• Strategies to improve mood and decrease anxiety

• Developing and enhancing wellness strategies 

• Effective communication skills

• Understanding the relationship between the mind and body

• Education related to the child’s mental health diagnosis

Expertise in complex cases

Many children with physical health problems also have mental health issues. If a child has a physical health problem and also has depression, anxiety or another mental health problem, we have the expertise to understand how those conditions work together. Our therapists, psychologists and pediatric psychiatrists work hand-in-hand with other specialists across Children's Health. This team approach means we can understand all aspects of your child's condition and tailor treatment to their exact needs.

Support from nurses at every level of care

Nurses play a key role in helping your child cope and get better. That’s why we have nurses involved in every case, at every level of care. Our nurses take the time to answer your questions and to provide helpful education and care to your child.
