At just 10-years old, Hope Rice co-authored a book with her mom called “The Worry Shark” after her own struggles with anxiety. She now speaks to other students about her experience to help them cope and to try to take the stigma out what so many students face in today’s world. Hope and Melissa join Ellen Kolodziej on the ECKO Effect for an important conversation about mental health issues and how adults can help children of all ages.
