What is the best advice you have received from a therapist?

A little over 2 years ago we moved into this office space with some concern that it may have been more space than we needed. At the time we occupied 4 of the 9 offices inside. Now we fill them all. Thank you for trusting us and our wonderful team of counselors at Great Oak Counseling. Thank you for allowing us to GROW with you. #greatoakcounseling #capegirardeau #mentalhealth

We like the tips given in this article on supporting your child’s mental health as they return to school. The return to school is often met with anxiety in both parents and children and with all the changes related to COVID 19, this is more true than ever. We are wishing those returning to school a good transition back. If you are needing support at this time, please call our office at 573-271-2008. As children often take their emotional cues from the key adults in their liv...es including parents and teachers it is important that adults manage their own emotions well and remain calm, listen to children’s concerns, speak kindly and reassure them. ... In addition to checking in on your child’s physical health and learning when she goes back to school, you should also keep an eye out for signs of stress and anxiety. COVID-19 may be impacting your child’s mental health, and it’s important to demonstrate that it’s normal and OK to feel overwhelmed at times. When in doubt, empathy and support are the way to go.
