With enough time and the right therapy program, teens can learn to cope with past trauma. Their psychological and emotional health relies on getting the right kind of help. Teenagers, especially girls, have a hard time trying to deal with the history of abuse or trauma. They need a program, such as ours, to help them heal from the trauma of the past and move on with their mental and physical health intact.
Asking for help isn’t easy for teens in these situations. They may try to cope with their issues themselves; a small percentage may even succeed, but it is likely that without the proper tools to move on from their traumatic experiences, they will not be able to act according to social norms and live a normal life. It is up to the parents of these teens to provide the help that they need. You can look for these signs to learn whether your child requires a therapy program to deal with their issues or not:
If you discover one or more of these signs in your child, then you should seek the help of a professional therapist immediately. You can also contact us (800.584.4629) and enroll the teen in our unique Wilderness therapy program. We have a team of professionals, who will counsel the teen and provide them with the coping mechanisms that they need to heal from their trauma.
