We’re Here to Help Your Child Smile Again

Self-care is a lifelong journey- it starts here.

Struggling with mental health as a child or teen is incredibly hard for both the young person and their family. Emotional pain in childhood can deeply impact development, relationships, and confidence. With the right care, we can change that story.

At Nebraska Peace of Mind, our child and adolescent psychiatric providers help children and teens better understand their feelings, build tools to manage anxiety and depression, and support families in growing stronger together. Our goal isn’t just relief- it’s long-term resilience, confidence, and joy.

Signs Your Child or Teen May Need Support

Depression and anxiety can be hard to spot. If your child or teen shows any of the following signs, it might be time to reach out:

Withdraws from friends or family

Frequently sad, irritable, or angry

Changes in appetite or sleep

Loss of interest in things they used to enjoy

Risky behavior or self-harm

Declining grades or motivation

Feeling overwhelmed or hopeless

You're not alone — and neither are they.
