Chad and Nikki are starting a new non-sequential series of episodes featuring other individuals and groups who are spreading awareness of children’s mental health.

Family meetings are a tool that can help kids and adults practice communication skills, conflict resolution, and effective expression of difficult emotions. 

In episode 33, Nikki and Chad discuss what a phobia is and what it's not, and what treatment might look like for someone with this type of anxiety disorder. 

Anxiety can look very different from person to person and in children especially, anxiety can have a number of different faces. 

Episode 31 is a conversation about what happens when a child grows up with a sibling with a mental health condition.

In their 30th episode, Nikki and Chad are joined by Dr. Rebecca Rolland, speech pathologist, Harvard lecturer, and author of 'The Art of Talking with Children' for a conversation about getting kids to talk.

For the final episode of their Back to School series, Chad and Nikki are joined by Chrissy Cox, a school principal, who explores the classroom practicality of the tips and strategies shared in episode 28, Unexpected Coping Skill, Part 1. 

In the third installment of their Back to School series, Nikki and Chad share simple, effective, and sometimes surprising strategies for coping with anxiety symptoms and discuss how these work and factors to consider when deciding which might be right for your child.

In part two of their Back to School series, Nikki and Chad unpack strategies to help kids deal with the difficult people they may encounter at school or in other areas of their lives.

The new school year will be here before you know it, and to help you prepare, Nikki and Chad will be doing a short Back to School series highlighting some of the most common challenges faced by anxious kids and their families each fall.
