With child and adolescent mental health problems on the rise, here is a a step-by-step guide for caregivers for recognizing signs of mental distress and responding with support and resources.
Emerging research suggests that child and adolescent mental health problems are on the rise. For example, one in four children report that they have experienced clinically elevated rates of depression, and rates of emergency department visits for attempted suicide have increased by 22 per cent in the past few years.
Changes are normal in children and adolescents, but dramatic and sustained changes are not. Typically, caregivers should be on the lookout for a combination of: In this scenario, make a statement about children’s mental health generally, such as “I hear there’s a lot of kids and teens struggling with their mental health right now” and then ask open-ended questions, such as: “what do you think about that?” or “what have you noticed about your own mental health lately”?
Communicating and connecting with children and adolescents, and confirming they have our support, can foster resilience in times of adversity.
