Episode Description from the Publisher

What if, instead of waiting until a child reaches crisis point, we gave them the knowledge and tools to understand themselves much earlier?In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Amedeo, author of Child Suicide, and the Silent Mental Turmoil That Is Destroying Our Kids.Sarah’s work began with her own experiences as a child, bullying, struggling to understand what she was feeling, and believing at one point that she had a “broken brain”. But learning about psychology and human behaviour changed the way she understood herself, other people, and the world around her.Today, Sarah is asking an important question: are we too reactive when it comes to children’s mental health?We talk about breaking generational patterns, emotional intelligence, bullying, technology, the role of parents, and why teaching children how to understand their thoughts, emotions and behaviour could help us move from crisis intervention towards prevention.It’s a conversation about what might change if, rather than waiting for children to struggle, we started teaching them how to understand what it means to be human.For More Information on Sarah's work lifescienceisthesolution@gmail.comGet the Book Barnes and Noble Amazon About the Host Andrea L Evans is the creator of The Connection Compass and founder of the Human Led Impact Project.
