Support starts with understanding.
Children and teenagers may express distress differently from adults. Assessment considers developmental stage, daily functioning, health history, and the young person’s own perspective.
You can seek support even if you’re unsure how to describe what’s happening. Tell your provider how these changes affect your routines, relationships, and wellbeing.
