There seems to be an alarming rise of mental health issues in youth today.  Is it a case of being more aware of the issues and the options for help or is it actually more prevalent today than ever before?  On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne we welcome Mental Health Practitioner, Natasha Halliday, MA, CYC. Natasha is a Child and Youth Care Practitioner and Speaker. She has worked for over 20 years with youth in a variety of settings, including group homes, schools, community agencies and hospitals.  Authentic Touch Points:Are mental health concerns in children on the rise?  3:00 As entitlement increases...resilience decreases.  9:50 From Helicopter to Snowplow parenting.  13:00 Being in the rain with an umbrella.  18:10 Strategies for young people who are struggling.  25:30 Ideas for parents with kids having issues.  30:50 Suicide – how to talk about it.  39:00 Natasha currently works in two GTA hospitals.

She also teaches in the Child and Youth Care Program at Centennial College.
