Speak to a teen counselorIs there a teen mental health crisis in Chandler, AZ?
In 2023, Mental Health America ranked Arizona 38th among the states in mental illness prevalence and 47th for youth access to mental health care, suggesting the state has lots of room for improvement. More concerning, the Arizona Alliance for Adolescent Health reported in 2024 that 70% of Arizona teenagers in mental health crisis received no treatment.
At Avery’s House, we aim to lower this percentage. We know that untreated childhood mental health struggles can become chronic mental illness in adulthood, and we understand that teens’ treatment needs differ from those of adults. Our professional, caring staff have broad experience working with youth, crafting individualized treatment plans that have been demonstrated to be effective for teens.
We’re helping Chandler one teen at a time.

How do teens in residential treatment keep up in school?
We understand that education is critically important for teens and should not be paused during treatment. At Avery’s House, we work with all residents to help them complete assignments and develop crucial academic skills. This not only ensures they don’t fall behind in school but also often boosts their confidence and academic performance.
When is the right time to seek treatment?
Because every teen and family are unique, there is no single answer. However, a general indicator is a teen who is struggling so much (emotionally and/or behaviorally) that they can no longer function in daily activities. They may be withdrawing from school, family, friends, and extracurricular activities. Other significant concerns are substance abuse, self-harm, running away, and frequent risky or dangerous behaviors. If you’re worried about your child, trust your gut and seek guidance through our free consultation. We can help you determine whether residential placement is appropriate.
