Fantastic
As a mother of 4 children and a school psychologist for 18 years - I am extremely impressed with this Podcast. It takes a lot of courage and maturity to speak about mental health and especially mental health for children and teenagers. I am also really blown away by the individuals who are speaking their story. This podcast is definitely a step forward in speaking openly and honestly - and hopefully will allow other children out there to recognize that they are not alone - they are not the only ones who feel this way and mental health issues can be helped with good mental health professionals. I highly recommend listening!! Michal Agus Fox
