Episode 36: A Parent's Guide to Responding to Mental Health Concerns with Dr. Rachel Acheson
Description
When your child tells you they think they have a mental health problem parents can feel frozen. How should they respond and what action should they take?
I was joined by Rachel Acheson, a psychotherapist with years of experience in adolescent mental health services and schools to discuss this issue. Rachel offers clear, balanced advice on this potentially daunting situation, breaking down what parents can do, what to say, when it might be time to seek professional help, and what kinds of support are available.
From the importance of staying calm and validating your child's feelings, to knowing the signs that professional support might be needed, Rachel covers it all. Whether you're currently facing this situation or want to be prepared for the future, please have a listen to my interview with Rachel.
