I think it’s important too that parents understand, first and foremost, that what’s happening in the sessions are confidential and to allow them to have that, not to pressure them when they leave that session with their clinician.
Ever feel lost when it comes to supporting your child's mental health? You're not alone. In this episode of 'On Your Radar,' John Williams chats with T.D. Hostikka, Director of Residential Services at Rosecrance Jackson Centers, and Teisha Hoppe, Therapist at Aspen Counseling, about how parents can better support their kids.

Hostikka and Hoppe share practical advice on how to help children develop coping skills and build resilience. They emphasize the importance of creating a safe space for kids to express their emotions and behaviors. You'll also hear about the role of social media and technology in children's lives and how parents can navigate these tricky waters. The experts don't just stop at identifying problems; they offer actionable tips for parents.
Whether it's practicing mindfulness together or setting healthy boundaries around screen time, these strategies aim to foster a supportive environment for kids to thrive. Plus, they discuss the significance of helping children develop self-worth and strong values, which are crucial for their mental well-being. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for any parent looking to support their child's mental health journey. Tune in for a compassionate, down-to-earth discussion that offers both understanding and practical solutions.
