The Raiseology Podcast with Sharon Somekh, MD

How do you know when to address mental health concerns you have for your child?

Today on the show, I am speaking with child psychiatrist, Dr. Fiana Klein, on how to help parents cope with their children's mental health concerns. We’re covering how to tell the difference between normal worry and worry that needs to be addressed, what you can do proactively as a parent, and how to use language to help your kids navigate their feelings and experiences.

Dr. Fiana Klein has a private practice in Melville, NY. You can learn more about her here.

How do we raise our kids in the current culture to foster resilience and connection? I’m diving into that question today with TedX speaker and author, Anne Moss Rogers.

Anne Moss is the owner of the popular Emotionally Naked blog. She's a social media and content marketing expert who turned into an accidental leader as a suicide prevention advocate after her son, Charles, who suffered from depression and addiction, died by suicide in June of 2015.
