NAMI End the Silence presentation is now scheduled for Monday, April 11 - middle school @12:45 and high school @2:00.  The community is welcome to attend.

We will be visiting your student’s class soon—here’s what we will be discussing. 

  • One in five teens lives with a mental health condition 
  • Mental health conditions are not anyone’s fault or something to be ashamed of 
  • 50% of mental health conditions emerge by age 14 and 75% by age 24 
  • Warning signs typically begin about two to four years before a mental health condition becomes serious 
  • Many young people who receive treatment and support early can achieve recovery and live healthy, full and productive lives 

 

Know the Warning Signs  

 

You know more about your son/daughter’s typical behavior than anyone else. This puts you in the best position to notice changes and know when it’s time to get professional help. Below is a list of warning signs to watch for: 

  • Feeling sad or withdrawn for more than 2 weeks 
  • Trying to harm or end one’s live or making plans to do so 
  • Severe, out-of-control, risk-taking behaviors that causes harm to self or others 
  • Sudden, overwhelming fear for no reason, sometimes with a racing heart, physical discomfort or difficulty breathing 
  • Throwing up, using laxatives or not eating to lose weight; significant weight loss 
  • Seeing, hearing or believing things that are not real 
  • Excessive use of alcohol or drugs 
  • Drastic changes in mood, behavior, personality or sleeping habits 
  • Extreme difficulty concentrating or staying still leading to physical danger or failing at school 
  • Intense worries or fears that get in the way of daily activities
