Frequently Asked Questions-

![💛 You notice it in small moments: your child who used to laugh easily now seems quieter, clingier, or quick to tears. It’s easy to wonder if this is “just a phase” or something more.
Grief and trauma don’t always look like sadness. Sometimes, they look like irritability, exhaustion, or a child who suddenly doesn’t want to play.
These changes aren’t defiance. They’re communicating. They’re your child’s way of saying, “I need help feeling safe again.”
In our newest blog, we explore how to recognize these signs and how our grief-affirming and trauma-informed child therapy in Geneva can help children and teens begin to heal. 🌿

Gentle Ideas for Feeling Less Alone
Reaching out can feel hard, especially when you’re struggling. Here are a few small ways to invite connection:
- [ ] Check in with a friend or family member you haven’t spoken to in a while.
- [ ] Give a compliment to someone nearby.
- [ ] Invite a coworker, neighbor, or friend for coffee or a walk.
Even the smallest act of connection can make a big difference.
We believe that hope grows stronger when shared. We invite you to join us in raising awareness, sharing resources, and building a community that chooses connection over silence.](https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/543769147_18064439246358089_3006022898081633465_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=5c-JFiOx9esQ7kNvwGHiMfU&_nc_oc=AdlnynDTfcg58dgJ_r7bjN4gXVC8NnJSEGE8_fuBivS92PSTgaI3pfst2yth4xk61o4&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=0_OpJWol30tETTCiwxn6dQ&oh=00_AflGOtncfp6vothDh7r4wf1c_iDFt_pyGTaWSFbxiBsMJw&oe=6937B2C8)
