Vulnerable EP90: On Advocacy And Supporting Child Actors w/ Chris B. Smith

This week on Vulnerable, licensed clinical social worker Chris B. Smith joins Christy to chat about advocacy and supporting child actors. Chris supports the Looking Ahead Program, a program that assists young performers in the industry, helping young people and families deal with the challenges of working in entertainment and transition into healthy, thriving adults. We’re chatting about giving young people the space to feel like they don’t always need to be “on”, and the importance of these programs which Christy describes as being like her North Star. 

Is Christy re-parenting herself? What important actions can parents of child performers take? Tune in now!
