At the Stress Detective, part of our mission is to empower children with the tools and strategies they need to communicate their feelings and actively participate in their own care. We do this by helping you--the therapists, educators, and caregivers.

It's hard to witness a child struggling with anxiety and to regulate their energy and emotions.

We want to do all that we can to help, but sometimes it can be hard to find the root cause of their challenges so we know what to do. Even when we know why they are struggling, it can be difficult to find tools and strategies that actually work for them while respecting their autonomy and individuality. We want to avoid expecting their compliance at the expense of their mental health.  

Unfortunately, children are frequently underestimated when it comes to expressing their feelings and experiences. Adults often try to problem solve behavioral and emotional issues without ever getting the child's perspective.

We want to change that.

We provide tools and strategies to help you:

• Learn more about a child’s individual needs so you can make better recommendations and provide better interventions
• Know what recommendations to make and interventions to provide (make sure you are on our email list!)
• Have fewer feelings of “imposter syndrome” 
• Communicate more effectively with children
• Be a neuro-affirming caregiver
• Communicate to parents and other providers to advocate for children
• Empower parents and caregivers with the information and tools they need to support the children in their homes and classrooms
