Is your child having a hard time getting along with others? Are you finding your teen sleeping all day and staying up all night? This can be a sign of depression, an anxiety disorder, or other mental health disorders. To find out what may be bothering your child, consider speaking to a mental health professional in or around Griffin. 

Founded in 1840, Griffin and its residents are proud of its history. It has several buildings and other spaces that are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. It is nice to explore these places with your child to teach them about the history of the town. However, if your child is suffering from a mental health disorder, it may be difficult to get them interested in doing anything, whether or not they are in the classroom.
