While everyone is struggling with this transition, it’s also important to recognize when your child may need additional support. If you’re unsure whether your child’s mental health struggles require care that you cannot provide at home, ask for help. Initially, you can reach out to your child’s teacher or school counselor to see if they have noticed any signs or symptoms that require additional support. In addition, your primary care doctor can be a wonderful resource who can assist with a mental health screening and help determine the best next steps for supporting your child.

But what happens when one hour a week of outpatient therapy isn’t enough support? What if you or your loved ones continue to have challenges despite meeting weekly with a therapist, and the symptoms experienced increase in frequency and/or severity? This can feel overwhelming and exacerbate a sense of hopelessness. Many families navigating behavioral health treatment options for the first time believe there is no option in between weekly visits to a therapist, assessment by a doctor at the Emergency Room or admission to an inpatient facility.

Headline stress is not a clinical diagnosis, but many psychologists have started using the term to describe people who are overwhelmed and experience increased stress by viewing or reading the news.
