Being a parent and supporting your child’s mental health comes with challenges and complexities. In 2024, it can be even more confusing with the added layer of the digital world young people are growing up in. Technology is ever-present for youth, affecting their mental health. It comes with online comparison, loneliness, complex dynamics of body image and self-perception, and many other things. For parents, knowing what children are now struggling with in a digital world is hard, and being able to address it and provide support is essential. Join MHA and Arizona State University for this 1-hour session where we will: Describe current challenges youth face regarding technology Hear from parents about how they are helping youth navigate technology and their mental health Hear from youth about how they want support for their mental health Funding for this series is provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Child Traumatic Stress Network.

Collaborative Problem Solving

OHA funded The Child Center to help families strengthen positive relationships and build the skills needed for success at home, at school, in the community and throughout life.

Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) is a philosophy based on the understanding that youth with challenging behaviors may be having delays in the development of skills in five different areas which are needed to adaptively solve problems and make decisions in their lives. CPS works to strengthen existing skills and teach them skills to do better in their environment; the philosophy is that “Kids do well if they can.”

The Child Center: 

• Offers free CPS classes to people throughout Oregon. Sessions are once a week for eight weeks. 
• Is focused on providing services to seven regions in Oregon that have limited mental health provider resources.  

For more information, please visit The Child Center’s website and share widely with families and communities.  

Warmline  

Reach Out Oregon, funded by OHA as part of Oregon Family Support Network, has a warm line at 833-732-2467, a website, a chat room for any family member needing support and a weekly virtual support group.
