Supporting Parents & Kids to have more HOPE

After speaking to countless parents about their kids mental health, and their own mental health as parents, Gheorg’s founder and psychologist of 30 years Dr Louise Metcalf wanted to do something more to support parents in these challenging times.

Gheorg was created to support kids with anxiety. And to be able to support kids with their mental wellbeing, parents need to be aware of their mental health too.

During the Hope Ninja Parents podcast, Dr Louise Metcalf speaks with Gheorg’s Schools Program Manager and Mindset Coach, Cynthia Painter, about the importance of mental health, how hope can be a key tool for positive mental wellbeing, and practical strategies parents can use to improve their family's mental wellbeing. Mental health is a big topic!

Each episode, we’ll be diving into a new topic around mental health and sharing ideas that can support parents and kids with their mental wellbeing.
