Adam, an 18-year old successful student and athlete is brought in to your office today by his father, who reports that Adam no l
onger studies, works out, or sees his friends. This has gone on for a month and a half. When you speak to Adam alone in the room, he states that "it would be better if I were not here." What would you do next?
Say “no it is fine if you are here” as his dad reports that he is no longer with his friends, he may feel upset. You can ask him some questions and generally make him feel welcome. Hope this helps!
