A few episodes back I had a powerful and emotional interview Allison Garner about her challenge navigating resources and support for her children who deal with mental illness. From listener feedback, this is a subject all to many of us deal with. Allison was kind enough to introduce me to Jamie so we could explore further.
Please join Jamie and I as we walk through the emotional land minds, and the hope that is available through the myriad of resources available to parents for their kids. Everything we discuss will be included in the show notes so you can get the support you need.
“Parents come to me with a ton of shame and guilt… I see it as my job to provide some hope." - Jamie Goodman
