Happy Families
It’s not easy being a clinical psychologist in children’s mental health services at the moment; there’s been a 77% increase in referrals over the last few years. I’ve worked in this area for 20-years and I have never seen it like this before.
It’s not easy being a parent at the moment; we’ve just navigated an unexpected pandemic and other ongoing uncertainties that impact our stress levels as adults and our children’s. We are hearing it all the time, how children’s mental health difficulties are massively increasing and there are limited services to help.
As a parent your anxiety goes through the roof when you hear that 50% of mental health difficulties in adulthood start before the age of 15 and 75% before 24.
As a parent you want to be able to do something about it.
Firstly, you want to help your child or adolescent manage the ups and downs of life in ways that will support their wellbeing. You want your child to be happy and resilient so they can face the challenges of life and ideally not just survive but THRIVE.
Secondly. If your child is struggling with their mental health, you want to know how you would know: Is this normal or something to worry about? You want to understand what is going on for your child and most importantly what you can do to help.
Surprisingly, despite the fact that there has never been a time when children’s mental health has been of so much interest to parents, there is not a book out there that provides this critical information.
Happy Families is inspired by the 100’s of families I have worked with over the years. The information I have shared with these families has transformed them and their children’s lives.
