I’m a guardian in Belgium supporting a 17-year-old minor who’s been showing signs of severe anxiety and withdrawal lately. They’re hesitant to talk about what’s bothering them, and I’m worried they might need professional help, but the process to get mental health support here is slow and complicated.
Has anyone faced similar situations?
How did you approach getting psychological support quickly?
Any tips on building trust so the minor feels comfortable opening up?
Thanks a lot,


Marlies
