My heart breaks for these kids that are going home Every Day, that may not have enough to eat, that don't have anybody to help them with their homework. They feel the pressure of how our education system right now is, you know, trying to teach things in a way that these kids are just not getting.
Imagine a world where a seven-year-old learns how to commit suicide from a YouTube video. It's a chilling thought, but it's the reality that Mel addresses in this powerful episode of 'The Mental Tool Box'. Mel dives into the alarming trend of children being exposed to harmful content online, a topic sparked by an article sent to her by a friend.
This isn't just about the internet; it's about the urgent need for parents to be more vigilant and involved in their children's digital lives. Mel doesn't just highlight the problem; she offers solutions. She stresses the importance of building resilience and coping skills in kids to help them navigate the pressures of modern life. The episode also shines a spotlight on the ISAIAH Initiative, a movement dedicated to raising awareness about youth mental health and providing essential resources.
Mel's message is clear and urgent: We must create a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable discussing their mental health struggles. This episode is a wake-up call for parents, guardians, and anyone involved in a child's life. If you're looking for practical advice and heartfelt encouragement, this episode of 'The Mental Tool Box' is a must-listen.
