What if the most powerful way to help your child through mental health struggles isn’t fixing them—but learning how to truly see, hear, and walk with them toward healing? Joining Jim Burns today is Mark Mayfield—licensed professional counselor, author, and professor—for a timely and honest conversation on parenting and mental health. He shares how parents can support children who are struggling, highlighting the critical difference between reacting and responding. Together, they dive into addiction—from social media to deeper dependencies—and what to do if you suspect your child is caught in something unhealthy. They also tackle how to navigate gender confusion with both truth and compassion, while pointing parents to practical resources and support. At the heart of it all is a call to rebuild connection, create safe spaces, and guide our kids back to hope in Christ.
