PARENTS
Growing up isn’t easy for kids or their parents. Some kids will have difficulties along the way. When problems persist and you are concerned that something is wrong, it may be time to get help from a professional.
Research demonstrates that half of all mental illness begins before age 14. Fortunately, there are treatments that help. Early identification and treatment can prevent years of unnecessary suffering, minimize the likelihood of adult mental health problems, and provide youth and families with coping strategies to manage future challenges.
At the Child Guidance Center, we can help your child at any stage of development.
