Episode Description

Welcome back to our podcast Dr. Charles Barrett. Dr. Barrett is here to help us get a little deeper on the conversation of family mental health needs. He gives his perspective on the article by Dr. Richard Weissbourd of Harvard Graduate School of Education focusing of the topic of "The Critical Link Between Parent and Teen Mental Health". In this study it was found that "almost 40% of teens reported being at least 'somewhat worried' about the mental health of at least one of their parents." Dr. Barrett does major research and work with families on the importance of nurturing the family dynamic.  We are including links to Dr. Weissbourd's article, https://www.gse.harvard.edu/ideas/usable-knowledge/23/08/understanding-relationship-between-parent-and-teen-mental-health ;  ⁠Dr. Barrett's published works, ⁠https://charlesbarrett.org/cab-publishing-company⁠; and  information on how take a mental health test - Mental Health  America, ⁠https://screening.mhanational.org/screening-tools/⁠ .
