Shedding Light on Halloween Fright

In this episode, MACMH Executive Director Brandon Jones addresses hard conversations that may arise around the Halloween season. Whether it be about cultural appropriation, stereotypes, anxieties and fears, or mental health safety, it is important to hold space for questions your child might have and be patient. Children may take time to digest the information and perspectives you share. Jones also talks about how to help manage fears, promote accessibility, and encourage developmentally appropriate choices throughout the festivities. Let’s make this Halloween season spectacular for children of all ages, promoting positive and inclusive experiences.
