How Parents Can Support Their Teen
The first step in helping your teen is recognizing when professional support is needed. Watch for signs like:
- Mood swings
- Withdrawal from loved ones
- Changes in school performance
- Expressions of hopelessness
Approaching your teen with empathy and openness is crucial. Remind them that seeking help shows strength, not weakness.
Providing access to teen mental health resources is another essential layer of support. Counseling, family therapy, and structured programs like OHCAW’s can make a lasting difference. Showing your teen they’re not alone in their struggles will help build their resilience.
How OHCAW Helps Teens and Families
At OHCAW, we specialize in personalized mental health services for teens, tailoring our programs to meet the unique needs of each adolescent. Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) offer structured, step-down care that prioritizes growth without the disruption of hospitalization.
When you reach out for help, we:
- Start with the admissions process – Our team will gather information and explain what to expect during your teen’s time with us.
- Develop a treatment plan – We’ll work with you and your teen to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and goals.
- Provide comprehensive care – Our programs include individual and group therapy, family therapy, medication management, and more.
- Support transition back home – As your teen progresses in their recovery, we’ll provide guidance for transitioning back to school, social activities, and daily life.
The process begins with an evaluation that ensures we find the right level of care for your teen. Admissions are straightforward, and our team works closely with families to schedule sessions that fit each individual’s life. Follow-up and aftercare programs support your teen’s progress every step of the way.
