Before I had kids, I remember how easy it was to watch parents and question their decisions or their child’s behavior. Even now, after being a parent for ten years, there are still some things that other parents experience that I cannot comprehend. But I can certainly empathize with them. 

As my kids have grown, I have become increasingly aware of the mental health struggles that families experience. As a business owner, I had days filled with stress and worries, especially over the past few years. As a mom, meeting my kid’s needs and ensuring they are thriving is exhausting. As a family, we’ve had to navigate behavioral issues. These situations are why this counseling and therapy issue has become so important to me. 

The ’hood community is here to support you. We have resources if you or your child need counseling and therapy support. You can find additional articles and resources at www.thehoodmagazine.com. The best thing you can do for your family is to get the help and support you need in this new year. 

Wishing you health and happiness in 2023, 

Steff and ’hood team
