Description
Learning that your child may be facing mental health struggles can be terrifying.  What available help-seeking options are there? How can we move beyond fear and stigma so that we don’t unknowingly create a treatment gap?  In this episode, our host, June Yong, is joined by Alex Yeo, the executive director of Caring for Life and co-founder of Mental Connect. He shares practical ways parents can get started in walking with their children through mental health challenges, the resources available for help, as well as how they can be a safe space for their kids.  -- We all need someone to turn to when life gets tough.
