Youth and Family Services
The journey of an awakening child…
For much of my life I have worked with youth either as a teacher or a mental health counsellor. My time working with youth has been incredibly rewarding. But there were times while working within the mainstream health care systems that I came upon youth who met the criteria for a psychological crisis that more reflected a spiritual emergency. To witness the unique challenges these resilient souls were going through and not being able to direct them to the right kind of support is heartbreaking. This is especially true when the right kind of support doesn’t exist within our current mental health framework. If you are a teenager or a parent/guardian of a teenager who is struggling with what you suspect might be a spiritual awakening or spiritual emergency, please contact Duve for a brief consultation to help assess what support options might be best.
