Signs Your Child Would Benefit From Counseling

If your child shows persistent sadness, anxiety, or behavioral changes, they may benefit from counseling. Other signs include difficulty in school, social withdrawal, changes in eating or sleeping patterns, or expressing hopelessness. Early intervention is crucial, and Upward Counseling is here to support your child through these challenges.
