Yasmine Fehr joins Rebekah on this episode of Moms of the Lou as they discuss the significance of mental health in children, particularly as they return to school. They also talk about the significant mental health challenges faced by children and adolescents today, including the impact of technology and social media, and how to recognize signs of distress in early intervention. Both highlight the need for creating an open and non-judgmental environment to reduce stigma surrounding mental health issues.
