  • How to talk with your depressed child, close family members and friends about the illness and treatment of depression.
  • How to practice active listening skills as a way to connect with all family members
  • Exploring ways to strengthen yourself and the family during challenging times.

    Not sure whether I could utilize this or not, but I am so happy to see that there are resources available for parents with bipolar children. Parenting alone is tough at times but if you have a child(ren) or teen with bipolar disorder and/or depressed etc. it is magnified oh so many times. Mental illness has generally been seen as a taboo type subject and that only changes when resources like this are available. Thank goodness they finally seem to be available to parents that are facing such challenges. Thanks so much for the info!
