How do we, as leaders and family members, navigate Mental Health Challenges in Children and Elder Parents: This Wellbeing Wednesday we bring Insights and Strategies from Two Caribbean Women in support of #MothersDay!



As a Caribbean woman, I'm thrilled to share a special episode of "Self-Love Letters for Everyday Superheroes" featuring Alethia Cadore MA, BACyc(P) Psychotherapist, a fellow mental health advocate and strategist. Did you know that one in five children experience a mental health breakdown? Are you struggling to navigate whether a loved one is acting out or in need of additional support? In this episode, we share insights and practical strategies for recognizing and supporting children and elder parents in times of stress and peacelessness.



Here's what you can expect from our conversation:

- Learn to recognize the signs of a mental health breakdown in a child or elder parent, or spot childhood triggers in yourself

- Gain practical strategies for supporting and caring for loved ones in need of extra TLC

- Discover ways to manage anxiety and practice self-care

- Enjoy some laughter and patwa banter as two Caribbean women share real talk about mental health and wellness

- Sing along to some self-love letters and have fun!
