Mission Prep (866-353-1140) has released a new coping guide on the connection between adolescent depression and family conflict that is designed to help parents get their children mental health care when they need it.
-- Mission Prep has a new guide called ‘Family Issues Causing Teen Depression: How Family Problems Can Lead to Depression in Teenagers’, which has been written for parents and caregivers who have noticed that their teen’s mental health is falling, and wonder if it may be in connection to issues or conflicts within the family unit.

Authored by one of their staff psychologists, Jemma Strain, B.S. Psychology, this comprehensive guide covers some of the family issues and conflicts that can lead to or exacerbate teen depression, including divorce. It also offers advice on how to address these linked issues and suggests what therapy options may be best.
Sadly, there are many issues facing families today that can impact the mental health of teenagers, including financial problems brought about by the rising cost of living, as well as divorce, which affects around 40-50% of first-time marriages. Moreover, teens can easily be affected by other factors like the loss of a grandparent or loved one, family illness, or needing to relocate.
While parents cannot control many of these issues and conflicts, as Mission Prep explained, there are ways to alleviate and minimize their impact on vulnerable teens. Some of the advice they offer includes: checking in regularly with teens, and opening up the space for meaningful conversation and sharing, maintaining normalcy through routines, making time for real self-care—as the common analogy goes, if one’s cup is empty there is nothing to pour from—and being open to getting professional mental health support.
Mental health providers like Mission Prep can offer teens a myriad of treatment options and modalities, ranging from residential care to intensive outpatient care to regularly programmed individual treatment sessions.
Their center can also offer both individual therapy sessions for teens and family-based interpersonal therapy, which they believe is essential in situations where family conflict has worsened a teen’s mental health.
As Jemma Strain explained, “Interpersonal therapy can help teens and their families work through problems with communication and boundaries to figure out how to manage conflict for better mental health.”
Mission Prep makes use of several evidence-based psychotherapy methods, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Ms. Strain added, “Mission Prep’s team of trained professionals understand the impact that family issues can have on teen mental health. We offer depression treatment programs in various locations, supporting teenagers in seeing that they are not to blame and that they have a bright and hopeful future ahead.
