Calling all parents! This week, Mike, Helena and Jamie A Watson, LMFT, RPT-S and Mental Health Director at Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies, break down the barriers of mental health stigma for children with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their parents with a focus on effective, compassionate and understanding parenting.
Join us for a heart-to-heart on the importance of validation, open communication, and sticking together through the chaos. We unravel the mysteries of kids' emotional rollercoasters, mini meltdowns, and offer tips on how to keep your cool when the going gets tough. From engaging teens in therapy to bridging cultural divides, join the hosts for lively discussion with humor and heart.
