Teens are dealing with a world that is changing at a dizzying rate and with challenges unlike
any other generation in history. While trying to process and navigate, parents are also trying to help their teens. What can we do to help our kids?
If you’re asking yourself that question – today’s episode is for you! I’m so excited to sit down with Dr. Jessica Peck, author of the book, Behind Closed Doors. We dive into the mental health challenges of kids/teens today, and she helps us navigate difficult conversations we need to have with our children.
As a pediatric nurse practitioner in primary care, over the last 20 years, Dr. Jessica Peck has engaged, encouraged, equipped, and empowered families to raise holistically healthy kids. She guides parents to help navigate challenging parenting moments to escape shame and stigma with grace, hope, and courage.
