Times of Crisis
According to the CDC, suicide rates are 2 to 4 times higher in adolescent males than females…
…yet boys are far less likely to ask for help.
At Secured Connections & Wellness, we help youth identify safe, effective strategies for managing overwhelming emotions—before they reach a breaking point.
Caregivers – You're not alone. Support is available.
Youth – You are not alone. You are seen, and you matter.
Secured Connections and Wellness conducts suicide assessments at every session.
If you or your youth is feeling suicidal right now, help is available.
Call: 988
Call: 911
When calling 911, ask for mobile crisis, and let them know your calling about a youth having a mental health crisis.
Adolescence is often a time of turbulence and emotional ups and downs.
There are no manuals or roadmaps for caregivers navigating these challenging years. Witnessing your child self-harm or hearing them express suicidal thoughts can be heartbreaking and overwhelming.
At Secured Connections & Wellness, we’re here to help.
Providing a safe space for your child to explore their intense emotions and develop healthy coping strategies is essential for healing and growth.
We prioritize creating safety plans for youth and guidance plans for families—both of which are crucial components of support. With years of experience and evidence-based strategies, we can help you implement proactive tools and create thoughtful, compassionate responses to crises.
Our therapeutic approach incorporates a range of evidence-based models, including:
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Attachment-Based Family Therapy.
