Summary

In this episode we dive into Mental Health in students grades 9-12. This is such an important topic because these ages are so difficult with hormonal changes and emotional control! I am chatting with Julia McClannon who specializes in social and emotional learning/resilience and mental health for all ages - but particularly for early childhood and adolescence! Here are the questions we discussed:1. What stands out to you in terms of the mental health of your high school students? Patterns, trends, etc. 2, What are some red flags or warning signs to look for in my child? 3. What resources do you think we need as parents to help our kids navigate their emotional well-being?4. For the parents of little that are listening…How do we lay the foundation when our kids are younger to support emotional and mental health/resilience as they enter their teens?5. How do I start being better for my kids now if I feel like it’s too late? 6. As a teacher, what kinds of things do you have in place to help your students with their mental health?Julia's Instagram Page! ______________________________Did you love this episode?
