The Power of Presence: Navigating Your Child's Mental Health Struggles with Jennifer Robb
Manage episode 507172762 series 3562759
When your child is struggling with mental health challenges, the weight of worry and helplessness can feel overwhelming. In this powerful conversation, Anna McLaughlin sits down with Jen Robb, author of "Warrior Mom Rising," to discuss the raw realities of supporting a child through anxiety, depression, and self-harm.
Jen shares her deeply personal journey with her daughter Chloe's mental health crisis, including a life-threatening incident that became a turning point for their entire family. This isn't just another parenting podcast – it's a lifeline for mothers in the trenches, offering practical strategies, spiritual wisdom, and the reminder that surrender doesn't mean giving up.
If you're a mom feeling alone in your child's struggle, this episode will remind you that God's delay is not His absence, and that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply show up with presence and love.
