An new resource offered through Neson Borges and his organization Capillary Wave
From Nelson posted on Facebook:
As a father who lived through teenagers with mental health struggles, there is no worse feeling as a parent than helplessness. We either see our kids slowly changing (more time spent in their rooms, quieter, not laughing as much) or sometimes it seems that it happens overnight.
We question ourselves with feelings of guilt and sometimes even feelings of embarrassment. What did we miss? Were there signs that we didn't see?
One thing we can do as parents is learn the best ways to see the signs... the what's, why's and how's. If you're a parent at the beginning, middle or even if you think there's no issues with your child's mental health - having coping skills and a plan is always better than winging it.
Capillary Wave will be hosting a Mental Health Compass for Parents. Date TBD. Please use the link to register. This is open to all.
