Noticing Mental Health Concerns for Your Child Worksheet

Parents/caregivers know their children best and are often the first to notice when they may be having difficulties with their mental health. This worksheet provides some prompts to help you consider if your child might be experiencing a mental health concern, and when you may wish to consider seeking support from a regulated mental health professional.

This worksheet was developed to help parents/caregivers note changes you may have noticed – identifying the nature of the concern and its duration, intensity, frequency and impact. This tool may help you to organize thoughts and share concerns if you choose to seek professional support for your child.
