Signs Your Young Adult Needs Help

As parents, we would do anything to protect our children from danger and harm. We make sure they don’t fall down stairs, touch hot stoves, or swim without supervision. But as they get older the dangers that face them are harder to spot. More than half of the US population will be diagnosed with a mental illness at some point in their lifetimes. These mental health issues come in all shapes and sizes, from depression to anxiety. As our children become adults, we might be mistaking their “teenage angst” for something actually more serious. So how can we know if our growing children need professional help for their mental health? Today we are talking with David Macfarlane and Jennifer Dobberfuhl-Quinlan. They are the co-founders of Hope Recovery and Healing, an organization focused on helping people burdened by trauma, mental health conditions, and emotional wounds to discover their truth and create their path to wholeness.
