Change Requires Effort From Parents and Teens

If your teen is having mental health × Mental health
Mental health is “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”1 It is estimated that only about 17% of U.S adults are considered to be in a state of optimal mental health. The mental health in teenage boys and girls is a crucial issue and concern for parents. Teens, for a variety of reasons, tend to struggle with mental health more than adults or children who have not yet reached their teens. This is because of the turbulent time that comes with adolescence and the individual teen's inability to cope with said turbulence. Parents of troubled teens who struggle with mental health issues, actually have a plethora of treatment options to choose from. The type of treatment option that best fits the individual teen, greatly depends on the individual teens mental health issues.
issues or partaking in troubling behavior, a change needs to take place, and this requires effort from both parents and teens.  In order for the problems to be addressed and fixed properly, both parties need to work at it.  Teens aren’t usually independent enough to conquer the serious problems they may be facing alone, so the help they receive from their parents is key.  Additionally, if the problem goes beyond what just the parents and child can take on by themselves, professional help may be necessary.  Zion Educational Systems is here to help in the decision of what kind of treatment options are the best for each troubled teen.  We do this by providing a collection of resources that is useful in finding the best programs available.  If you need assistance in seeing a change in your teen, contact Zion Educational Systems today at (866) 471-8579.

How Parents and Teens Can Contribute To a Change

If a teen is suffering from a mental health issue, or, perhaps a behavioral issue, it is important for parents to notice the problem, and have healthy discussions with their teen about what exactly the problem is and how to best fix it together.  Because teens rely so heavily on their parents, they cannot be expected to take on their issues alone.  It is helpful for parents to set restrictions on their teen if they are worried about their risky behavioral problems and would like to see a change in them, as well as find professional assistance if mental health issues are involved.  Teens need to be expected to contribute to their own improvement as well.  They can do this by trying to understand their problem, confiding in their parents, and participating in the treatment that is fitting for their issue.  If your teen does need professional help to see a change, it’s important not to wait.
