A Year of Positive Thinking for Teens with Katie Hurley

After the year we've all had, it's no surprise that sometimes it's hard to keep a positive outlook. Feelings of fear, loneliness, and hopelessness can easily spring up and start to grow - in our children, and in ourselves. So how do we help our kids stay positive? What tools can we offer them? And what role does our own mental health play in our ability to help our kids through this? Katie Hurley - a child and adolescent psychotherapist, parenting educator, public speaker, and writer - has some thoughts on the matter. She's here to share approachable, practical ways to face negative thoughts and feelings head on, and move forward with positivity and hope.
