Mental health and substance use are closely linked. If you’ve noticed certain changes in your child’s behavior or feelings, it could be a sign that something is wrong.
This toolkit from our friends at the Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide and the YMCA provides guidance for parents and caregivers navigating this difficult terrain. It provides examples of warning signs, outlines what you can expect during a behavioral health evaluation, and offers a helpful overview of the different treatment methods available to you and your family.
