As Mental Health Month comes to a close, we wanted to share this conversation (originally recorded on September 18, 2025), featuring founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, and child clinical psychologist Marianne Barton, PhD. Parents and caregivers often feel stuck between two overwhelming roles—caring for their child’s mental health and managing their own. In this candid conversation, Ruth and Marianne offer practical strategies and powerful reminders to help you show up for your child without losing yourself in the process. This episode is part of our ongoing podcast series featuring expert-led conversations pulled from our archives. These discussions are real, research-informed, and designed to meet you where you are—because parenting is hard, and you're not alone.
After this episode, you’ll be able to:
- Support your child’s emotional and mental wellbeing without constant worry
- Recognize signs of burnout and take steps to care for yourself
- Talk openly with your child about tough feelings
- Set healthy emotional boundaries that strengthen connection
- Know when and how to seek outside help
