-What causes anxiety, and how can I control it?
- How do you broach difficult conversations with your child around subjects like low mood and self-harm?
- How can we support each other and communicate better? Happy Families takes an honest and accessible approach to children's mental health - arming parents and carers with the tools they need to tackle anxiety, low mood and difficult behaviours, as well as the hope and reassurance to actively make a change, with children (from ages 4 right up to 21).
With techniques based on cutting-edge science, evidence developed over twenty years of working in the NHS as well as her own experience as a mother of three, Dr Beth will help parents to make sense of what their child is going through - and show them how they help their children to survive and thrive.
