We are joined this week by Michele Chassner of the Hope Center run by KidsPeace outside of Raleigh, North Carolina. This is a behavioral health urgent care, but also has several services to help children from ages 3-20 with a variety of mental health needs. Michele talks to us about the trending mental health challenges for kids that are commonly appearing in her work and how these services can help. This is MUST LISTEN if you have kids in this age group!

The transition from school to summer can be exciting! But for students with neurodiverse needs, it can also involve some extra planning. In this episode, we interview one of our clinicians with a specialty in autism and intellectual disability, Brittany Sailer. Her insight into the transition to summer is full of great nuggets, you’ll want to give this one a listen.

In this episode, we discuss why seeking mental health support should be the #1 thing you do before anything else! This type of support is so critical for making all the parts of your life work in your favor…find out why in this episode, and what you can do about it.

What we do in our therapy practice is Relationship-based Model of Executive Functioning. In this episode, we are taking a look at what this model is, and how you can practice some of the elements of this model at home!

We are tackling the controversial issue – should you be your kid’s friend? We tend to disagree about this topic quite a bit in our household and this will probably be a source of debate in a lot of houses! Let us know your thoughts!

It’s love week! And loving someone with neurodiversity is what we’re all about on this podcast! We know that that can be a challenging and rewarding endeavor, but like everything in life, we are all about it! Tune in to find out our thoughts about the more you know about neurodiversity and how we love each other!
