Shifting the Perspective on Anxiety and Depression
About this episode
Is anxiety always a disorder, or could it be a protective response? In this illuminating episode, school psychologist Vern Davis-Showell and counselor Justine Clemenger join hosts Christopher and Deb to reframe how we think about children's mental health. From turning car rides into conversation opportunities to understanding the delicate balance between physical and digital safety, our experts offer practical wisdom for parents and educators. Whether you're a parent concerned about screen time's impact on mental health or an educator looking to support students better, this episode offers fresh perspectives on anxiety and depression in today's youth.
