A Guide to God and Mental Health for your kids with Laura Smith Be Love. Do Good. with Kristi Hayes

Today I talk with Laura Smith, parent and author of the 5-Minute Devotions for Teens: A Guide to God and Mental Health 
This devo removes the stigma on mental health and advises Christian teens what they can do when they are depressed and anxious. Scattered throughout the book are tips to help teens maintain good mental health practices such as meditation, disconnecting from social media and technology, saying affirmations, and much more.
Today with social media and added pressures, teens are dealing with mental health more than ever. Today’s conversation gives us the encouragement and tools we need to come alongside our kids who may be struggling. Laura reminds us to ask for help from others and that we can’t do this alone.
