Parenting a child with mental health issues is incredibly tough—and you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’ve ever asked, “Is this normal or something more?” or wondered, “Should I step in—or step back?” you’re not alone. Many parents feel overwhelmed trying to support a child in therapy or facing mental health struggles or even wondering if my child needs more help?
Join Peace at Home Parenting founder Ruth E. Freeman, LCSW and guest expert Marianne Barton, PhD, for an honest, practical conversation about how to support your child’s mental health without losing yourself in the process.
You’ll learn how to:
- Create an emotionally supportive home environment
- Recognize when your child may need more support
- Distinguish between setbacks and progress in treatment
- Play a meaningful role in your child’s therapy
- Use evidence-based strategies to avoid parental burnout
- Repair and strengthen your relationship through honest connection
