Ep. 59: Help! My Child Has Mental Health Struggles with Crystal Paine
The statistics are slow in coming, but according to November 2020 findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between April and October 2020, hospital emergency departments saw an increase in the total number of visits that were from kids for mental health needs. And while that is true and terribly tragic, statistics also show that anxiety, depression, and thoughts of suicide were already on the rise even before this global pandemic. One report from the ADAA (Anxiety & Depression Association of America) states that 1 in 20 kids struggle with mental health disorders each year. Today we hope to offer you some help. Our guest today is Crystal Paine. She’s the founder of MoneySavingMom.com, host of “The Crystal Paine Show” podcast, New York Times bestselling author of Say Goodbye to Survival Mode, and author of Money-Making Mom. She’s just released a new book, Love-Centered Parenting that is quite a departure from her normal offerings. But she’s opening up about a very vulnerable piece in her family’s story in order to help change that 1 in 20 statistic.
