Just listened to this episode Art. I thought Haesue brought up a lot of great points. I agree that if you are not in the right frame of mind it will affect you and your family.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Brendan. I am really honored to work with BetterHelp. I am grateful for talking with Haesue. She had a lot of great information to share with us.
Haesue shared a lot of insight into how you can talk to your kids about mental health in a way that doesn’t seem combative. For my teenagers I feel like they can shut down depending on how I broach something that is a sensitive topic. This podcast was very helpful.
Glad to hear it Andrew!
Keep up the great work Art. This episode was exceptional.
Thank you Mark!
My family and I listened to this episode. We all had a discussion about mental health and the issues that are going on at school. I am happy to see that more conversations like this are happening.
That is really heartwarming to hear that you and your fam listened to the interview.
Really good podcast Art!
Thank you Craig!
Haesue was terrific in helping breakdown how parents can talk to their kids about these topics. Thanks for this.
I agree. Haesue did a fantastic job on this episode.
Parenting is not easy. There are certain topics you might not want to bring up. This helps show the importance of why these topics need to be talked about.
I agree Charles.
This was a very necessary conversation. I echo what you both said and what other people have been writing here. Mental health needs to be talked about more.
Thank you Julian.
I had a lot of fears bubble up when I became a dad years ago. I tried to push down all of those things and not get help. I finally got help a few years ago and it was one of the best things I ever did.
Proud of you Josiah. Thank you for sharing your journey and good for you getting help! Very happy for you.
