This episode is a MUST LISTEN! In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month (May) Monique Reno and Stefanie Henrie with Acadiana Area Human Services District answers my questions about the difference between depression and anxiety, signs and symptoms to look out for in children ages 5-7, in-depth differences between ADHD and defiance, and do’s and dont’s for parents to help alleviate certain behaviors. We even touch on how social media can affect children’s behavior.
The mission of the Acadiana Area Human Services District (AAHSD) is to increase public awareness of and to provide access for individuals with behavioral health and developmental disabilities to integrated community based services while promoting wellness, recovery and independence through education and the choice of a broad range of programmatic and community resources.
