About this speaker

Extending Support, Resources, and Compassion to Caregivers of Children with Mental Health Conditions

This presentation will shed light on the data relevant to mental health conditions and the impact they have on our society. We will reflect on ways we can be aware and support our loved one if they are having a difficult time. We’ll devote time to address caregiver burnout and the importance of self-care. Lastly, we will provide a brief overview of some of the resources and support available to caregivers.
