The natural instinct for a parent is to ‘fix’ their teenager’s problems, but this can make depression worse by invalidating their feelings. This video provides a guide for parents to shift from being a ‘fixer’ to a ‘supporter.’ We cover how to use validation and active listening, create a supportive home environment through routines and healthy coping mechanisms, and understand the role of professional help like family therapy. A core part of this strategy is parental self-care, as a parent’s well-being is foundational to their child’s recovery.
