Counseling

At times, everyone has strong, uncomfortable, or even angry feelings about things going on in their lives. When someone in your family has a problem or is hurting, everyone in your family is affected. If you are worried about someone you care about, try talking with them or encouraging them to seek help..

You may want to explore the benefits of counseling if you see any of the following signs:

• Sudden changes in mood or behavior.
• Being unhappy for a long time.
• Strong feelings of fear or nervousness.
• Losing temper over small things.
• Aches and pains that have no known physical cause.
• Drop in grades.
