Know the signs.
Early recognition can save a life.
Here are some red flags to watch for in teens: withdrawal from friends or activities they once enjoyed, changes in sleep or eating habits, talking about feeling hopeless or like a burden, giving away belongings or saying goodbye, sudden changes in mood or behavior, or a sudden drop in grades.
If you see these signs, don’t wait.
Call us, talk to a mental health professional, or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Summer freedom often means later bedtimes, but sleep routines still matter. Kids thrive on consistency, even during vacation.
Try keeping wake-up and bedtime within an hour of their usual school-year schedule. A calming bedtime routine and screens off 1 hour before sleep can make a big difference.

~ Don’t leave food out for more than 2 hours (1 hour if it’s over 90°F).
~ Keep cold foods cold with plenty of ice or a cooler.
~ Cook meats thoroughly - no pink in burgers or chicken!
~ Wash hands before and after eating, especially after playing outdoors.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens in the United States.
According to the CDC, nearly 1 in 5 high school students seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. These numbers are heartbreaking, but prevention starts at home.
Creating a safe environment is vital if your teen is struggling with any depression or anxiety.
A few ways you can help reduce risk include securing all medications in a locked cabinet, including over-the-counter pain relievers, storing firearms safely - unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition, and limiting access to alcohol or other substances, monitoring online activity and fostering open, ongoing conversations about emotions and mental health.
If you’re worried about your teen or have questions about mental health, the providers at Arbor Pediatrics are trained to help. Mental health treatment is most effective as a team approach with the teen, provider, caregivers, and licensed counselor working together. Call us or schedule a visit to talk more.
