Has anyone had to deal with mental health challenges with their kids? Such a big issue for so many families. A bigger discussion than when I was a kid. Perhaps the world is harder or maybe simply the stigma of seeking mental health support is diminishing What do you guys think?

Everywhere I look, I see heartbreaking violence. In the US, shooting school kids and teachers, bomb threats to schools in Ohio based on lies about immigrants, political assassination attempts...tragedy in the middle east and sudan...ongoing war in Ukraine. Bring back #Peace
