When it comes to mental health, parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s understanding of the subject. In this episode, we have two parents who are advocates for mental health sharing their experiences. Medina Jett, the author of ‘Peace Be Still: Navigating My Son’s Bipolar Disorder,’ talks about her journey as a mother of a young adult with a mental illness. Following her, Michell Clark discusses his book ‘Eyes on the Road’ and shares how he has prioritized his mental health as a parent and in his personal life.
Both Jett and Clark provide insights into their experiences and offer advice on how to navigate the challenges that come with mental health issues. It’s crucial for parents to prioritize their own mental well-being in order to be able to support their children effectively. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration national helpline is available at 1-800-622-HELP (1-800-622-4357).
