    How many hours a day are your children using screens? How much of that time is spent passively watching videos or scrolling through social media? Why do studies find more screen time in Black children? Check out this episode of the podcast to hear more about how screen time affects your child's mental health and development.

  • Helping Families Heal with Dr. Valerie Cordero

    Helping Families Heal with Dr. Valerie Cordero
    Aug 9 2024

    Depression can show up in families in subtle ways, sometimes with small changes in behavior that slowly start to create concerns. One of the most common questions that I get is, “how can I get a loved one to see a doctor/therapist?” In the most recent episode of the pod, I speak with Dr. Valerie Cordero, Co-Executive Director at Families for Depression Awareness and a prominent voice for suicide prevention, mental health parity, and health equity. We discuss the issue of mental health concerns within families. Check out Families for Depression Awareness at https://www.familyaware.org/ for online resources for how to help your family members.

    If you or someone that you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, call 911 or 988 for help in the US or activate the emergency services in your area.

Mental illnesses are as varied and unique as the people who live with them. Substance abuse, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many other conditions all fall under the umbrella of mental illness. But even those who do not have a diagnosable condition may struggle with their mental health from time to time. Mental health podcasts can still be a valuable and reassuring resource for many.
