Covid-19 Update: The RIS Minburi campus is closed until further notice. We appreciate your continued support
When in doubt, reach out. School counselors are a great place to start.
Prepare to be an advocate. Finding the right mental health treatment is like finding the right medical provider. It takes time and effort to make sure you’re getting the best care you need.
Avoid the following!
Signs and symptoms that there may be a mental health concern that requires attentions:
Ways to start a conversation with someone you are concerned about:
Your kids may not be ready to talk to you. That’s ok! They do need to know that you are present and available. Remind them that you are there. Make observations and statements and just let it be. They will come when they are ready.
Questions you can ask:
What to do when your child shares information about another child?
The safety of our children is most important. It can feel overwhelming to be the keeper of information and at the same time feel bad about breaking the trust of a teen who just shared something difficult with you. It can be hard to break your child’s trust when they share information about a friend with you in confidence. Your child may panic and feel like they are going to lose their friend for breaking their trust. It can feel confusing and uneasy.
Ask yourself a few questions to determine if you should reach out to the other family.
As counselors, we always inform a child that we have to share any information regarding their safety and give them autonomy in how they want the information to be shared. Talk to the kids about the need to share and give them choice in how to do so.
If you can’t make a decision or don’t feel like you can determine what is best, call the school counselor for support.
Worried you or someone you care about is having thoughts about suicide?
Know you are not alone and there are lots of resources.
