Anxiety has a sneaky way of showing up—especially for tweens and teens—just when things seem to be going well.
Between academic pressure, questions about identity, and navigating the highs and lows of social media, it’s no wonder so many young people are feeling overwhelmed.

If you’re a parent, make space to listen without judgment. Be open to their worries, and don’t hesitate to seek the right support. A mental health professional can help both you and your child process these tough emotions and build healthier ways to cope.

You don’t have to do it alone—help is out there.
