Revised and Updated for 2025!

In the best of times, the teen years are challenging for youth and their parents. It’s a period marked by physiological changes, cultural milestones, significant cognitive development, and fluctuations in mood. And now, we are in the midst of a teen mental health crisis. The disruption to school and home life caused by the pandemic plus the ongoing anxiety caused by social media and the current state of global news has accelerated the increasingly high rates of mental illness experienced by teens.

What’s a parent to do? To answer parents’ toughest questions, child & adolescent clinical psychologist Dr. Tyish Hall Brown has written this first-of-its-kind book, providing practical step-by-step guidance for parents to best support their teens’ mental health and wellness. Dr. Hall Brown provides concrete answers to questions such as “what is normal?” “when is it time to seek help?” “how do I know if a therapist is a good fit?” “how do I get on the same page as my co-parent?” and “how do I know if things are getting better?” Each accessible, plainly written chapter of Navigating Teen Mental Health is accompanied by talking points to help parents jumpstart those difficult conversations with confidence.

New material included in this revised and updated edition includes:

• Handling Big Emotions and Learning Self-Regulation
• Leaning into Telehealth Options
• What to Do if Your Teen Doesn’t Seem to Get Better
• What to Do if Your Teen Doesn’t Want to Give Up Therapy
• More Sample Scripts, Examples, Questions, and Checklists

From deciding whether to seek help to knowing when your teen has improved enough to terminate therapy, Navigating Teen Mental Health empowers parents to actively support their teen through the seemingly intimidating and frustrating process of acquiring mental health services.
