I've been increasingly concerned about the mental health of differently wired kids over the past few years. And after reading yet another report about how dire the situation is for today's children and adolescents, I realized this community — you, me, everyone out there supporting neurodivergent kids — needs more support.

I reached out to my friend Dr. Matt Zakreski, a clinical psychologist and expert in the intersection of children, neurodiversity, and mental health, and he agreed to join me for an honest conversation about the things we're most worried about, as well as how we can support our kids (and ourselves) during these challenging times.

​In this Mental Health Check-In — scheduled or January 24th from 8pm - 9:30pm ET, we'll be talking about things like:

• When our kids' anxiety and depression impacts the whole family
• Concerns about kids' negative coping strategies
• Struggles with school, social relationships, and motivation
• Strategies to support our kids engaged in self-harm and more
• Resources and ideas for getting kids the help they need
• Supporting our own mental health and well-being while parenting 

We're scheduling this as a 90-minute live event so there will be plenty of time to address questions and concerns. ​​​Matthew Zakreski, PsyD is a high energy, creative clinical psychologist who utilizes an eclectic approach to meet the needs of his neurodiverse clients. He is proud to serve as a consultant, a professor, and a researcher on Giftedness, and is the co-founder and lead clinician at The Neurodiversity Collective.

​Debbie Reber, MA, is a parenting activist, bestselling author, podcast host, speaker, the founder and CEO of Tilt Parenting. A certified Positive Discipline trainer, Debbie’s most recent book is Differently Wired: A Parent’s Guide to Raising an Atypical Child with Confidence and Hope.

I believe it's critical that we talk openly about the mental health of differently wired children and young adults, both for our struggling kids, and for the health and well-being of the whole family. 

I hope you'll join us. Register Here​
