How much do we care about our kids mental heath? 

Do we do a health check?

Do we monitor or ask questions about their friends? 

How well do we know our kids friends' families? 

Are kids hanging with the wrong crowd?

Distractions

Know your purpose

Get out of your own head

Write it down, record it, go for it and do it

Happy New Year 2023

2. Being Available (inn the moment; not on our time)

3. Listening to understand and not respond

4. Problem solving with them and NOT for them

Happy Father's Day

I'm early but I wanted to honor my dad in heaven with a story I've been thinking about.

My brother and I were playing basketball til about 11 p.m. but our father didn't know we were okay.

What a night.

Let's talk about it

What would you do ? save a kid's life and by doing so possibly lose your job?

I chose possibly losing my job.

Let's talk about it.

May is a time to raise awareness of those living with mental or  behavioral health issues and to help reduce the stigma so many  experience.

Mental Health Month raises awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities.
