Mental health is a hot topic in today’s society. The shift to focusing on mental health encourages a focus on the whole body’s health, and not just the physical. If someone struggles with their mental health, they may develop a mental health disorder. When your loved one struggles with a mental health disorder, it can be overwhelming to watch them struggle. As a parent, you want to do anything you can to provide support to your daughter. Understanding the intricacies of mental health in adolescents and reaching out to treatment is integral to your daughter’s long-term well-being.
Finding a trustworthy care team and treatment facility is key to ensuring the best recovery for your daughter. Clearview prides itself on its trust-based relational intervention (TBRI) approach. A care team you can trust will approach your daughter with the same level of care as you and allow you to trust that she is in good hands. At times, mental health struggles can be overwhelming for the child as well as the parent. If you can rely on your daughter’s care team, her long-term success and recovery are possible.
Mental Health in Adolescents and How to Provide Support
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) defines mental health as “our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.” Mental health encompasses how our brains work and interact with the world. If someone struggles with their mental health, they may develop a mental health disorder. Mental health disorders are genetic and environmental. Trauma and life experiences can cause issues with mental health, as well as your genetic makeup.
Adolescents are in an especially vulnerable time for their mental health as they are growing and finding their place in the world. Mental health disorders may also co-occur with other disorders, such as substance use disorder (SUD). Teenagers are especially vulnerable to co-occurring disorders, from peer pressure and the struggles of managing mental health on their own. If your daughter is struggling with her mental health, it is integral to get treatment before her mental health worsens.
Treatment of mental health ailments consists of many things. It can include medication management, therapy, and further intervention such as hospitalization or commitment to a longer-term facility if necessary. If your daughter struggles with mental health, you want to make sure that she has the best care available. Finding a care facility that can make a difference is integral to her success. Learning about our facility and values will help you trust us with your daughter’s care.
What Is Trust-Based Relational Intervention?
TBRI is a therapy model in which caregivers provide support and treatment for individuals based on trauma-informed care. Clearview approaches mental health care with the TBRI principles in mind. An article published by the journal Child and Youth Services says that the three principles of TBRI are “1. Empowerment—attention to physical needs; 2. Connection—attention to attachment needs; and 3. Correction—attention to behavioral needs”. TBRI is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that aims to make a difference in children and adolescents who are struggling.
If a care team and facility use TBRI, you can trust that they will approach your daughter’s care with the same level of gentle comfort as you would. As her parent, you want the best for her and to know that her care will make a positive difference in her mental health. Employing the TBRI approach makes a difference compared to other approaches due to its connection. The heart of TBRI is a connection, and Clearview aims to connect and provide support to every student who stays with us.
