Scenario

When parent and teen both struggle with mental health

My teenager and I are both dealing with depression and sometimes I don't know if I'm modeling healthy coping or if we're just sinking together — when they're having a bad day it triggers my own stuff and I can't tell if I'm helping or making it worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The convergence of similar struggles across generations creates uncertainty about who is supporting whom and how to maintain healthy boundaries.
