When To Ask For Help
Help for Myself
Some people believe it is a sign of weakness to seek out a psychologist
or therapist. However, few things demonstrate stength more than knowing
yourself, knowing your goals, and the awareness that you are not succeeding
on that path toward growth, and then be willing to ask for help to get
there.
Help for My Child
Although your child may look a lot like you, only smaller, their reaction
to life changes are not necessarily smaller versions of your reaction.
The signs of behavioral health and mental illness in children, differ
from that of teens and adults. As a general rule, when your child's
mood or behavior is interfering with his/her functioning (at school,
home, church, sports, etc.) or your family's functioning, it is time
to seek out help.
If you can think about things you can talk about them, if you can
talk about them you can manage them.
