Children & Education

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) 20% of young Vietnamese are living with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, ADHD and Autism. This is equivalent to more than 4 million children and the rates are still rising. The most common causes of mental health issues in Vietnam are isolation, emotional abuse, neglecting mental needs and educational stress. Millions of children are in need for help, but the country has only 130 therapists available for adults and children.

To help and support children and families in Vietnam, Merijn Mattheijssen, (M.Sc.) opened in 2020 Psychologist Vietnam.

Parents & Caregivers

We would like to offer you clear information about how we work. If you prefer to have a one-on-one chat with one of our professionals, you are always welcome to visit us by arranging an appointment. After the agreement, we pick a date to work with your child. This can be at home, at our clinic, or at school. After the assessment, a report that includes outcomes and advice will be sent to parents only. After receiving the report, we clarify all the outcomes, and we provide clear advice to support you and your child. After our advice, we are always available to support you more, when there are still questions or concerns.

Teachers & Schools

We also offer a service for schools and educators. Our service for schools includes:
  • Giving a training about children & mental health to teachers and staff (for example, how to deal with ADHD and Autism)
  • Giving a training about healthy class management for teachers
  • Sharing resources for guidance officers, teachers, and school managers.
  • Giving presentations to parents about mental health, for example screen addiction and social media.

Counselling for Families

Family therapy is a form of counseling that focuses on the improvement of interfamilial relationships and behavioral patterns of the family unit as a whole, as well as among individual members within the family. Family therapy helps family members understand each other and work through difficult feelings in a safe space. The success rate of improvement for this therapy is around 75%.

      The Five Love Languages
      ㅤㅤㅤ1992
      Gary Chapmanㅤㅤ
      Measures
      1. Panic Disorder or Significant Somatic Symptoms: Questions assess physical symptoms that can accompany panic, such as heart palpitations, dizziness, and feeling faint.
      2. Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Questions focus on chronic and excessive worry about different areas of the child’s life, including school, future events, and family.
      3. Separation Anxiety Disorder: This subscale evaluates the child’s fear and anxiety about being separated from home or caregivers, which can manifest as reluctance or refusal to go to school or sleep alone.
      4. Social Anxiety Disorder: Questions assess the child’s fear of social situations and being negatively judged or embarrassed in front of others.
      5. School Avoidance: This subscale measures anxiety related to attending school, which can result in frequent absences or extreme distress when faced with school-related activities.
      Description
      “The Five Love Languages” test is a tool designed to help individuals identify their primary love language. It consists of a series of questions or statements intended to gauge how a person typically expresses love and what makes them feel most loved and appreciated by others. Based on the responses, individuals can determine which of the five love languages resonates most strongly with them.

      Dyslexia Screening Test – Junior (DST-J)
      1990s
      Professor Angela Fawcett, a prominent researcher in dyslexia.
      Measures
      The Dyslexia Screening Test – Junior assesses several key areas that can indicate dyslexia, including: Phonological Awareness, Alphabet Knowledge, Rapid Naming, Backward Digit Span, Reading and Writing Abilities, Non-verbal Reasoning
      Description
      The DST-J is designed to screen children aged 6.5 to 11.5 years for potential dyslexia. It consists of various tasks that are administered in a structured setting, typically by a teacher, psychologist, or other trained professional. The test provides a profile of strengths and weaknesses that are useful in identifying children who might benefit from further testing or direct intervention strategies. The results can help educators and parents understand where specific difficulties lie and how best to support the child’s learning needs.
