Staying Supportive While Maintaining Boundaries (feat. Connor’s family)

This week we hear from Connor’s family (from our last episode). His dad (Steve), mom (Mary-Rose) and younger brother (Duncan) share their thoughts around Connor’s story, how it impacted them, Connor’s dad Steve was also a teacher at Connor’s school and provide insights into how Connor’s early school experiences may have contributed to his mental health challenges later in life. Connor’s family does an incredible job of explaining how they have learned that Connor didn’t need to be “fixed” and that they needed to do their own work to be the most supportive family they could while realizing that they are only able to change themselves - and not others. In the episode a few resources are mentioned.
