For the entire month of May, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Joanna is bringing you a special parent series, where she interviews parents whose children have overcome a variety of mental health challenges. Today’s episode of Success is Subjective features a conversation between Joanna and Michelle. Michelle shares how her once happy-go-lucky, easy-going son became riddled with anxiety by fourth grade, seemingly overnight. From then on, her son’s struggles escalated with marijuana usage, getting in trouble at school and stealing from his parents. When safety became the greatest concern, Michelle knew it was time for her son to receive a higher level of care. After paying a pretty penny for top medical professionals who couldn’t provide the answers or solutions her son needed, Michelle found answers through an alternative source.
Disclaimer: Please note that this special series by parents is the parent perspective sharing mental health and substance abuse crisis with their adolescent or young adult children. These episodes may include content or topics around suicide, overdosing, and other traumatic experiences. Listener discretion is advised!
