When it comes to addressing mental health in children, it's best to approach things from all angles. Today Dr. Campbell and Dr. Hohn sit down with holistic children's psychologist, Dr. Nicole Beurkens. She runs a multi-disciplinary evaluation and treatment clinic, is a best-selling author, published researcher, award-winning therapist, in-demand speaker and international consultant. We talk about children's mental health and how parents can best support it. Listen as she informs on all the components of mental health that we should be addressing, what is often dismissed or overlooked, and how adequate nutrition can be a great place to start.
