Building communication between parents and young people during tough times

November 17, 2021 • Lead by Story & headspace Gosford + Lake Haven • Season 1 • Episode 7

Fletcher Pilon and his parents Mic and Jilly share about how their family has built communication and connection through the absolute highs and lows, including the tragic loss of their youngest family member Banjo.

Kel and Tahlia Gould share how they have navigated Tahlia's mental health journey together, as a sole parent and young person.

Both of these stories present powerful learnings for anyone wanting to build greater communication with Young People in their household.

The show is primarily intended to be educational and empowering. However, as is always important with mental health conversations, if you need to pause at any point and reach out for extra support please do. You can call the NSW Mental Health Line 24 hours a day on 1800 011 511.
