One of the best ways to support our children's mental health is to talk about our feelings. But that's easier said than done with a kid who doesn't want to share. In this episode of Parenting the Mental Health Generation, we talk with three local school leaders about how they get kids talking. This conversation takes place as we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month and work to reduce the stigma around mental health struggles. Join Amy O. (aka the mom) and Dr. Lisa (aka the psychologist) as they speak with Coach Geo, a high school teacher and coach, Blake Zweig, M.A., a middle school psychologist and Dr. Brian Wegley, a superintendent.
Visit the CATCH website to see the programming we are hosting throughout the month of May.
This is the conversation you aren’t having with your kids' doctors and teachers because time doesn’t allow it. Or, with your friends, because they just don’t get it. So put in your earbuds,
take this 30 minutes for you and join our conversation because mental health matters.
Amy O. (aka the mom) is the founder and Dr. Lisa (aka the psychologist) is an active board member of CATCH, Community Action Together for Children's Health a nonprofit organization on the Northshore of Chicago with a mission to empower
families to foster resilience and prioritize mental health and emotional wellness in their children through educational programming, access to resources, and peer support.
