The Importance of Mental Health

Jessica James, Ph.D., HSPP Clinical Psychologist

What You Can Do Know that mental health disorders are not due to a personal weakness, poor parenting, or lack of willpower. Talk with your child’s medical and school teams about any concerns you have regarding your child’s behavioral and emotional functioning. Feelings of anger, anxiety, and depression are hard but no child or family is alone in these feelings. There are supports that can help!

Mental health is important for everyone, including children! Mental health is about reaching developmental and emotional milestones, learning coping skills, and coping with problems. Mental health disorders affect up to 1 in 5 children and individuals with neurodevelopmental differences (such as autism and ADHD) are at an even greater risk. These disorders impact a child’s success and well-being at home, at school, and in the community. Early diagnosis, understanding, and treatment is important to improving outcomes.

K1ds Count Therapy Mental health therapy services at K1ds Count Therapy provide family-centered support to help your child and family reach their full potential. This often involves building skills that support well-being, developing an understanding of oneself, and fostering relationships with others.

Psychological evaluations provide a deeper understanding of an individual’s strengths and challenges. This can help ensure an appropriate diagnosis is made as well as provide appropriate treatment recommendations, strategies, and resources.
