Brave Together Podcast: Support and Community for Caregiving Parents

ASK US ANYTHING: The Words We Say: I Struggle with Anxiety vs. I Am Mentally Ill


Listen Later

Hello Brave Friends! This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and, you guessed it, ASK US ANYTHING! 

In this Ask Us Anything episode, #209, we are responding to the question, How do we help our children feel empowered instead of defeated by their mental health diagnosis? 

In this conversation co-hosts Jessica Patay, Susanna Peace Lovell and Dr. Zoe Shaw explore the importance of language in shaping self-perception and mental health. They discuss how different identities can be embraced and the power of affirmations in fostering a positive self-image. The conversation also touches on the challenges of discussing mental health with our kids in the context of social media and ways we can help them see themselves as whole human beings first.

Keep the questions coming, we’re here to support you! Whether you have questions as a parent to a child with complex medical or mental health needs or you’re someone looking to support a care-giving parent, we would LOVE to hear from you. We see you and we love you! Leave us a message here.
