Latest national statistics indicate that mental health challenges are at an all-time high in Australian children and youth. Anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders are wreaking havoc in our schools and families (not to mention the amplification of these challenges if your child is neurodivergent). Suicide and self-harm are rising. And finding the right support and good help is increasingly challenging.
Our kids and our families are at breaking point.
In Breaking Point, Dr Justin Coulson, Australia’s leading parenting expert, will unpack the mental health crisis enveloping our kids. He’ll cover:
- The root causes behind the deteriorating state of mental health and who (or what) is responsible.
- The tools you need to reverse this trend for your children.
- Science-backed, relationship-focused strategies to remedy school refusal.
- Realistic approaches for managing screen time in a way that protects your child’s wellbeing without completely alienating them from their peers.
- Creating margin in your home and family life to protect and promote mental wellness not only for your children, but for you too.
This isn’t just a presentation; it’s a call to action. Join the conversation and be part of a dynamic, interactive experience where we collaborate to reshape the future of your children’s mental health. You will hear real stories, explore innovative solutions, and discover practical strategies to empower your family.
