ACCESS MENTAL HEALTH

Your child may have elevated anxiety after injury but this usually resolves, especially as they re-integrate into school and more typical activities. Mood disorders persisting for 3 months should be evaluated as any other mood disorder. Those reporting 6 months after injury may have a new onset of disorder (i.e., anxiety disorder). If your child/adolescent is currently seeing a specialist/healthcare provider for mood and anxiety related symptoms pre-injury, we encourage a follow-up visit with them to keep communication lines open and obtain advice.

Telephone: (403) 943-1500
