Common Pain Points

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.

Unrecognized Symptoms

Many parents may struggle to identify the signs of PTSD in their children. Symptoms like avoidance, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness can easily be mistaken for general anxiety or mood changes. This lack of recognition can lead to feelings of helplessness and confusion.

Fear of Judgment

Children with PTSD often fear being judged or misunderstood by peers and adults. This can create a barrier to open communication, making it harder for them to express their feelings and seek help, leaving them feeling isolated.

Feeling Overwhelmed

The emotional toll of PTSD can leave both children and parents feeling overwhelmed. The constant worry about triggers, potential outbursts, and the general unpredictability of emotional responses can create a challenging home environment.

A word from our Families

I had the chance to check out Pathformers on my phone and computer, and let me tell you, the computer version really blew me away. The site’s beautiful aesthetic and diverse family photos and videos really capture the richness of family life. The topics they talk about are super helpful, and navigating the site is a breeze, especially with the filters that stay put until you change them. Dr. Klein explains things in a way that’s easy to get, which I think will hit home for a lot of people, not just parents like us. I’m actually pretty excited to tell my colleagues about it. We’re always looking for meaningful ‘lunch and learns’, and I really think Pathformers could be a big hit with us and others.

Jamie and Kevin T.

I am so appreciative of the Pathformers initiative!! In conversations with friends who have children, we are always questioning whether some behaviors are normal, worrisome, or not. I am struck by how very little information pediatricians give to parents on mental health and what is normal for children to do and when you need to seek help. Pathformers gives us a place to turn to answer those questions. It provides families with research-based and trustworthy information to help with their kids’ mental health.
