3.4 LionHeart Talks... Youth counselling

Listen Later

The feelings of helplessness when you realise your child is struggling with their mental health are like no other. The worry can be all-consuming, especially if you’re not quite sure when and where to get professional support, and can impact the whole family.

LionHeart host Melissa Gough Rundle is joined by Carmel Mullan-Hartley and Colette Hartley from our youth counselling partner, Open Door.

We talk about:

  • Some of the common themes and issues experienced by the young people we support
  • The lingering effects of the Covid pandemic on our young people’s mental health
  • The role of the family (from parents to siblings) while their young person is having therapy
  • What to expect from youth counselling
  • The holistic support we can give parents throughout
