Resources For Parents
Did you know that the average age of onset for most mental health disorders is 18-24? Even if your child never experienced mental health concerns in the past, that doesn’t mean they will be immune to them once they’re in college. As a parent of a legal “adult,” it can be difficult to know how to support your child during this stage of life, especially if they are living away from home for the first time and experiencing a brand-new sense of independence.
Protecting Your Child’s Mental Health: What Can Parents Do?
- Keep the lines of communication open.
- Know the signs and symptoms of emotional disorders as well as the warning signs for suicide.
- Encourage your child to go to the counseling center if one or both of you think it is necessary.
- Find out whom to call at the college if you’re concerned about your child’s emotional well-being.
- Understand the circumstances under which the college will notify you regarding your child’s mental health.
