Every parent faces the inevitable reality of watching their kid face an emotional crisis. It’s scary, it’s intense and likely feels way out of your control. Our goal at Decade2Connect is to provide mental health support not only for your child but you and your family.
If your child is experiencing frequent emotional crises, our Child Therapy services can provide professional support and strategies to help manage these situations.
Learning to better understand and respond to these intense emotions is key to healthy emotional regulation. Here are some steps you can take to support your middle school child during an emotional crisis:
The first step is safety. If your child is in immediate danger, call emergency services (911 or 988, or text “TALK” to 38255).
We know a simple list won’t solve the complex emotions your child experiences in crisis. The biggest reminder is that you’re not alone! Decade2Connect is here to support you and your child, as well as connect you to families walking through the same challenges. If you need support, we’re here.
