Isn’t heartbreaking to see your child struggle?

Whether it’s academic difficulties at school, social issues with their peer relationships, or emotional challenges of dealing with the effects of parental conflict or divorce.

Does your child struggle with anxiety and depression?

When a child is dealing with anxiety and depression, it can manifest in various ways such as school avoidance, social withdrawal, over/under eating and sleeping. These struggles not only after their academic performance by struggling with grades and finding it hard to concentrate, or socially by feeling left out by their peers. It can trickle into their self-esteem and create stress not just in the classroom but also at home. Recognizing these signs is the first step toward healing.
