Best advice you have received:
”Get a dog” they said… Seriously: So many people like to say “Time heals”. I think this is misleading. My view is that time passes and as it does, everything falls into it’s proper place in our story and perspective.
Why is youth mental health important to you?
Our youth are the future. The next generation that will shape our culture and society and create the environment for their children. They need support and resources to survive and function in a future world that we have not experienced; and they need to become resilient, nimble, compassionate, future focused, and responsible for their own safety and the safety of others. To achieve these skills, they may need assistance to find a safe place in the world, develop self caring skills and gain confidence to become mature adults, parents, mentors and leaders in their communities.
