Help for troubled Teens

What exactly is a troubled teen?

Troubled teens are young people facing at least one challenge that influences their behavior, emotions, and/or overall well-being. “Troubled teen” is not a formal diagnosis but indicates that a teenager is having difficulty coping with issues or conditions.

Signs of a troubled teen

Common concerns that parents have regarding their troubled teen include

  • Difficulties with schoolwork
  • Substance abuse
  • Mental health issues
  • Troublesome behaviors
  • Family conflicts
  • Engaging in dangerous activities

Help and treatment

To understand and address the specific needs and challenges of your teenager, it is important to seek professional help and guidance. Troubled teen programs can provide parents the support they need in guiding their teen toward a fulfilling and successful future.

I thought that Avery’s House was a good fit for my teenage daughter, who has been struggling with depression and anxiety. Avery’s House is much closer to the home environment than an institutional setting. I think that this makes the transition back to home more natural and easy. I also enjoyed the family therapy and family support groups that are a part of the overall program.
