Helping Kids Understand Their Mental Health Journey

As we come out of May, Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s continue to take time to lean into the tough but essential conversations. In this episode, with MACMH’s Executive Director Brandon Jones, explore how to talk to kids and teens about therapy and mental health diagnoses in ways that are supportive, age-appropriate, and stigma-free. Whether your child is showing signs they might benefit from therapy or has recently received a diagnosis, we’ll guide you through when and how to bring it up, what language to use, and why transparency (when developmentally appropriate) can help build a foundation for lifelong mental wellness.
