Need help with safety now?
If your child is in immediate danger, has seriously harmed themselves, or you cannot keep them or someone else safe, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department now. Do not wait to finish this check-in.
Thoughts or statements about harming themselves or others need immediate professional help. This website and our general support inbox cannot provide emergency or clinical care.

The PDF is generated in your browser when you choose to download it. It can contain sensitive observations, and the downloaded file remains on your device until you delete it. Keep it private and share only with people you choose. A PDF is an educational parent reflection, not a clinical report.
