The benefits of gathering for family meals with guest Derek Boylen

Lower rates of depression and anxiety, substance abuse, and eating disorders have all been reported, while higher rates of resilience and self-esteem have also been noted. Derek also says families sharing a meal and communicating also helps young people’s social skills and develops bonds between siblings and parents from an early age. Listen now and then visit us at the dinner table for even more great tips on how to make the most of your family's time at your dinner table. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/figuring-out-families/message

Om Podcasten

It's in the family we learn the skills of living together. We first learn that we are loved, understood, wanted and cared for, and in most cases it's in the family we are formed to be who we are. But our biggest hurts, failures and tragedies can also occur within the family. For most of us we have to learn as we go! For over 70 years Majellan has provided advice, shared stories of family life and helped family members deal with the problems that arise. We've helped thousands with their family issues. Hosted by David Ahern. Together we’ll set about Figuring out Families.
