2.16: Parenting Mental Health
Suzanne Alderson, founder of Parenting Mental Health, joins me as we talk about the struggles parents go through when they have a child with mental health issues. We discuss how lost parents can feel, how ashamed they might be and how alone they can be. When her own daughter was suffering from a mental health crisis, Suzanne set up Parenting Mental Health so that parents were not alone; the charity now supports over 30,000 parents around the world and gives them a safe space to communicate.
