Scenario

When parent and child both struggle with mental health

My teenage daughter and I are both dealing with depression and anxiety, and sometimes our bad days sync up in ways that make everything worse for both of us. I want to model healthy coping for her but I'm also just trying to survive my own stuff, and I don't know how to hold space for both of our struggles without either of us drowning.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A parent must navigate their own healing while remaining present for their child's parallel struggle without either process consuming the other.
