Parents need support too - Addressing parent overwhelm. “Parents today often face many challenges that impede them in becoming the parent they want to be,” says Amelia Larson, Registered Clinical Social Worker and Approved Clinical Supervisor at As You Are Therapy & Consulting. “At the foundational level, our atomized culture diminishes the societal support systems that are needed for families to thrive.”

Men’s mental health signs may be different than what you think. Recognizing the signs of mental health distress are key to getting men the support they need for their psychological well-being. “Men feel stresses and pressures as women do, but they express them differently,” says Amber Jerome, Registered Clinical Councilor at As You Are Therapy & Consulting. Although, men are less likely to seek mental health supports than women. Destigmatizing and normalizing seeking help would go a long way to helping men.
