Inspired by Personal Experience

Amanda’s personal experience with divorce and its impact on her family has deeply influenced her perspective. She believes that access to therapy during that challenging time could have significantly benefited her family. This experience has inspired her to dedicate herself to supporting children and families through similar situations.

Amanda is motivated by witnessing children successfully utilize their coping skills to manage their emotions. She is also inspired when these children share these techniques with their friends, helping them to manage their emotions as well!

Take Time to Unwind

It is important for everyone to take time for themselves to relax and unwind from everyday life. Amanda loves to do this through crocheting or taking care of her huge indoor plant collection!

Mental health medications and a holistic lifestyle can't just only coexist, the combination can be a game changer for mental health.

You may be faced with the question, “Does my child need medication for their mental health?” If your child is worried, sad, angry, or overwhelmed, encourage them to talk to a trusted adult. If they are struggling with things like regulating emotions, controlling anger, or focusing it may be a good idea to discuss it with a medical professional.

While we cannot change the past, it IS possible to stop the cycle of intergenerational trauma and prevent it in future generations. Community support and resources play an important role.
