This is a print-friendly guide that provides understanding about commonly used mental health-related terms. It is intended for parents/guardians, family members, and other caring adults to help them understand how they can help their child who may be in need of mental health and wellness support. This glossary of terms is a companion guide to our four part brochure series “How to Find a Therapist for My Child”, and each is a critical resource in finding the right kind of mental health treatment for you and your family.
