How do I know if my child or teenager needs psychological therapy?

Children and teenagers may benefit from psychological support for a range of reasons. In fact, research shows that strong, positive relationships with parents and other caring adults protect adolescents from a range of poor health-related outcomes and promote positive development.

The following markers may indicate your child needs to seek the help of a psychologist. For example, if your child is:

Experiencing problems that are having negative effects on their family and peer relationships

Expressing negative thoughts about themselves

Being worried or anxious a lot of the time

Expressing a feeling of hopelessness

Exhibiting a noticeable change in their sleep or eating

Irritable or angry, or if there is a sudden change in behavior

Engaging in self-harm
