Parenting doesn’t come with a pause button—but sometimes a moment to pause is exactly what you need. When family life feels overwhelming, mindfulness can offer a way to care for yourself while navigating the challenges of supporting your child.

In this episode of Where You Are, Kelty Mental Health brings together a parent and coach for neurodiverse families and a psychiatrist to explore what mindfulness can look like in everyday family life. Together, they address common misconceptions and share practical ways to bring a mindful approach to parenting and caregiving.

You don’t need to be familiar with mindfulness to join the conversation. Listen for ideas to help you approach stressful moments with greater awareness—and make space for your own well-being along the way.
