When To Refer

Emotional Wellness is as Important as Physical Health

It has been estimated that one in five children and adolescents will experience a significant mental health issue that impacts their learning and behavior in the course of their school years.  While some problems are more serious then others, it is important that we give them the skills necessary to cope with life’s challenges.  If ignored, such problems can affect their learning, development, peer relationships and their physical health. Some of those difficulties may include:

  • Academic challenges 
  • Worries about being bullied
  • Loneliness and excessive feelings of rejection
  • Problems getting along with family and friends/social pragmatic issues
  • Learning disabilities
  • Excessive stress and anxiety
  • Fears about starting/ going to school
  • Poor planning and organizational skills
  • High distractibility, impulsivity and hyperactivity
  • Unable to communicate their needs and express their feelings appropriately
  • Dealing with changes in their families due to loss or divorce
  • Feeling depressed often
  • Lack of confidence
  • Underachieving in school

Dr. Gage is here to help identify areas to be targeted for intervention, and support children and adolescents to achieve their best in school and in their daily life.
