Confidentiality

In a close-knit community, you may prefer not to meet people you know. A lot of thought was invested into the setup of our clinic — we utilize private waiting rooms and even offer backdoor access to ensure client privacy is respected.

What to (and not to) say when explaining mental health challenges to children

“When my daughter, who is the nicest, kindest kid you could ever meet, had a psychotic episode in camp, I panicked. I was determined to get her the right help, even if it would mean remortgaging our house. I couldn’t imagine that excellent psychotherapy could be covered by our Medicaid insurance. But here we are, six months later and in a MUCH better place.”

Dovi’s transformation

At home, Dovi* was a lively, energetic, and talkative child. At school, he had turned into a silent recluse. Having been a victim of bullying in his class, Dovi was afraid to open up or try to make friends. His academic struggles didn’t help matters, and every day of school was torturous. His parents, desperate to get him help, reached out to Sipuk.

When they came for Dovi’s first appointment, his parents were blown away by the magnificent play therapy rooms, complete with a huge array of toys and games. Dovi was enchanted and quickly settled down to play. However, this experience transcended mere play. With guidance from his warm and compassionate therapist, Dovi gradually lowered his defenses, acquired new skills, and overcame his fears — all while enjoying himself.

Over time, Dovi's confidence blossomed, leading him to take brave new steps in social interactions. He also agreed to work with a tutor so he could keep up with the class. Months later, his teachers have seen a transformation — Dovi is thriving while using the new skills he picked up in the very special playrooms at Sipuk.

When a child can’t make sense of a loved one’s mental illness, fear fills in the blanks.

It can be overwhelming and confusing for a child to see a parent, sibling, or friend struggling with mental illness. This short guide gives you the language to explain what’s going on in a clear, age-appropriate way, so children feel safe and supported.


You’ll learn how to:

• Explain mental illness in simple, reassuring language

• Answer the tough questions your children may have (“Is it my fault?” “Why is he always so nervous?”)

• Give kids the tools to stay grounded even during tough moments
