Description
Supporting our youth means supporting their parents and caregivers.
Parenting can be challenging under the best of circumstances. When a child, teenager, or young adult struggles with emotional, mental, or behavioral health problems, parenting can be overwhelming and isolating. Dr Natalie Burns will provide information that helps break down the stigma surrounding mental health and enables parents to recognize risk and warning signs, when to seek help, and how to best support their child. We will also discuss how to talk with your child about suicidal risk and ensure they are getting the care they need when they need it. Lastly, we will also provide tips and techniques for parental self-care and well-being.
