The Parent-Child Disconnect

By James French

There has been some scary evidence surfacing lately about the knowledge disconnect that has appeared between parents and children. Whether it is because of a desire not to know, a concern over privacy, or an unwillingness to be intrusive, there has been startling research emerging that parents just don’t know what’s going on with their children as much as they did in the past.

Reflections on Graduation Day, Then and Now

Ten years ago this month, I was wrapping up my senior year of college: turning in my thesis, saying goodbye to good friends… and realizing that I probably should have started applying for jobs back in January.

I got lucky.  Through a connection made the previous summer, a dream job fell into my lap.  2012’s newly minted college graduates might not be so lucky – a recently released study says that half of recent college graduates are either unemployed or underemployed. It’s tough, reading statistics like that, to wax poetic about the importance of a college education – and yet, that’s exactly what I’m about to do.

Stigma and Mental Health Treatment for Kids

By Beth Sapiro

As a therapist working in schools, clinics and after-school programs, I frequently run up against the barrier of stigma. All too often, a child or adolescent is struggling with emotional and behavioral problems that could be addressed through counseling. However, when the possibility of therapy is broached, the responses come fast and furious:

-Therapy is only for people with serious mental problems.
-Therapy means you’re “psycho.”
-Therapy means you’ll be labeled and discriminated against for the rest of your life.
-Being in therapy means you’ll have to take medication forever and be a zombie.
-You don’t need therapy; you need to stop being lazy/pay attention/get a job/grow up.
