How Do I Know If My Child Might Need Help?

As a parent or caregiver, it can be difficult to determine if your child is simply going through a phase or if they may need professional support. If you have concerns about your child’s behavior, emotions, or ability to cope with daily challenges, there are steps you can take:

Trust Your Instincts – If something feels off, it’s okay to seek guidance.

Talk to Your Child’s Doctor – A pediatrician or family doctor can help assess your concerns and may recommend speaking with a behavioral health professional.

Watch for Signs – While only a professional can diagnose a condition, some common indicators that your child may benefit from behavioral support include:

• Difficulty managing emotions (frequent outbursts, extreme sadness, or anxiety).
• Struggles with social interactions or making friends.
• Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy levels.
• Avoiding activities they once enjoyed.
• Difficulty concentrating or following instructions.
• Engaging in self-harm or expressing thoughts of harm toward themselves or others.

If your child is in immediate danger, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for help.

 We understand that reaching out can feel overwhelming, but we are here to make it as easy as possible. When you call, you will be connected with a compassionate behavioral health professional who will:

• Listen to your concerns – This conversation is confidential and judgment-free.
• Provide guidance – We’ll help you understand the next steps, whether that’s an evaluation, support services, or community resources.
• Help you navigate options – If our services aren’t the best fit, we’ll assist in finding the right support for your child.

 You can still call! We believe every child deserves access to care, and we will help you explore available options, whether through us or another provider. 

 If you're asking yourself, "What does this all mean for me and my child?" – you are not alone.

Behavioral health challenges are medical conditions—just like asthma, diabetes, or high blood pressure. They affect the brain and nervous system, influencing mood, behavior, and relationships. They are not a reflection of parenting or a child’s character.

In fact, 1 in 5 children experience a behavioral health condition each year, yet many go without the support they need. Seeking help early can make a tremendous difference in your child’s ability to thrive.

 At TBHS, we are committed to supporting families on their journey toward wellness. If you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. Your child’s well-being matters, and we are here to help you find the best path forward.
