Emotional Happiness

Child and teen suicide is a public health epidemic, it's a public health issue. According to the CDC, it is the second leading cause of death for age 10-24. For girls age 15-19, suicide has doubled since 2007 and for boys age 15-19, it's up 30%. At what point do we make it a conversation?

Dr. Cindy T. Graham joins me to discuss how to identify and manage mental health issues in children and teens BEFORE they reach a breaking point. Watch!

How did Mildred feel when John was finally caught? How did Mildred and the kids handle his execution? After the trauma, are the long lasting effects, the after shock of anxiety, nightmares or even PTSD. Listen to Mildred explain what she did to ensure she and her children would enjoy an emotionally healthy life.

Traumatic events take time to overcome. Time to accept that it happened, time to process the details, and time to do the work to heal. Most of us experience trauma among family and friends but this heroic sister disappeared into federal protective custody after her ex-husband murdered ten people and critically injured three, in a twisted plot to kill her. Under the judgmental eyes of millions, she and her children had to endure, hateful accusations and blame for his actions.

In this interview, called the best of the decade, Mildred Muhammad and I candidly discuss her ex-husband’s descent into withdrawal, the 18-month search for her kids and the process she and the kids used to fight their way back to living an emotionally healthy life. Watch and comment! I’d really like to know your thoughts.

Child Sexual Assault is both rampant in our communities and destructive on our families. Because of shame and stigma most victims choose to suppress the memories of their experiences in secret for fear of being ostracized or forever identified as a victim. Very rarely do victims freely share their stories, especially a male victim. So you know how special it is to have a male share his story in this interview. Tremayne Moore,  Child Sexual Assault Survivor and Advocate, shares what helps him manage triggers and what is helping him heal. Listen!
