    Information for Parents

    As a parent, you usually know your child better than anyone else. There are a variety of indicators that might suggest your child is having difficulties at school. Some possible things to look for include:

    •    Suddenly complaining of illness when it is time to go to school or avoiding school
    •    Sudden changes in school performance
    •    Increase in disciplinary issues at school
    •    Difficulty concentrating at school and at home
    •    Sudden changes in mood
    •    Complaining about physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, fatigue, or chest tightness
    •    Problems getting along with peers
    •    Stressful situations at home such as marital or family problems, substance abuse, changes in living status, or domestic violence
    •    History of exposure to traumatic events
    •    Family history of mental health problems or concerns

    If you have concerns about your child's mental health, do not wait to act upon these concerns.  Contact the Mental Health Services Coordinator, 334-705-4156, the school counselor, or administrator.  Our staff members want to work with you and your child to ensure they have the support that he or she needs to succeed, not only academically, but socially and emotionally. We can talk with you and make referrals to the appropriate services or resources to help.
