When the stresses and strains of everyday life start getting too much, it’s important to always remember to reach out and ask for help.
In Bangkok, there are a range of counseling services that children, adolescents and families can turn to for specialist support and guidance. While each of your individual schools will no doubt have their own counseling departments you will often find they may refer your child for outside assistance. Many anxious teens feel more comfortable discussing their problems and fears outside of the school environment which is perfectly normal and the schools will actually encourage this.
It’s a very positive development that over the last few years mental health has been discussed far more openly. Everyone experiences mental health challenges at some point in their life, the stigma previously attached to this has reduced significantly and the subject is being discussed far more openly among families and friends and being written about more in the media. The more we can talk about mental health and educate our children to understand how these issues can affect everyone, the further we can go towards ending the stigma that can negatively surround mental health.
