Kids and teens are struggling. According to the CDC, one in six youth experiences a mental health disorder every year, but only 20 percent receive the care they need. Not getting this care means kids are suffering in silence, and for some, making plans to end their lives. Nearly one in five teens seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including 30 percent of teen girls. In fact, suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10-14. Local kids need us to step up and intervene in this youth mental health crisis.
Helping the local community be their “best selves” means caring for a child’s whole health, including their brain health. Knowing where to start and having conversations about mental health can feel challenging. But Burrell Behavioral Health can help. Whether it’s in the community, in a school setting or at a clinic, Burrell’s team is here to journey with families when situations feel hopeless and the world feels difficult to understand or manage. Burrell offers therapy, psychiatry, eating disorder services, autism services, community- and school-based services and more. Learn more about how Burrell can partner with your family by visiting burrellcenter.com/report.
What do your customers typically think of when they’re trying to achieve their “best self”?
Our clients all seek one thing – to feel better. Finding what “better” looks like for them is how they are achieving their best selves. We provide the care and support needed to help them achieve “better” one step at a time.
What do you recommend to clients to be their best?
It starts with a first step. This could be a step into services, having a tough conversation or simply telling a loved one, “I am not okay.” To know what that first step might look like for you, start by checking in with yourself. If you or anyone needs some extra support, we’re here to help.
How do you deliver your personal best to clients?
To be our best selves, we have to check in with our own mental health too. This means regularly asking ourselves how we are doing, seeking support when we need it and being willing to have honest conversations about mental health with loved ones. To truly care for our clients, we need to be taking care of our own brain health.
