Students reveal their anxiety and depression in many different ways. Due to the nature of stress that many families are in right now, it is hard to know what to do and how to best help your child.

With that said, if you think your child is having a crisis or mental health emergency, ask yourself these questions and refer to the article below. 

• “How do I know if my child is having a crisis or mental health emergency?”

• “What if I am worried that my child is suicidal, but I am not sure?”

• “What if I need help during a crisis with my child?” 

• “How can I try to calm/control the situation while I wait for help?” 

• “How can I plan ahead for safety?”

• “What are some additional preventative safety measures?”

• “What causes a Mental Health Crisis?”
