9. How Do I Talk to My Kids About Their Mental Health? With Lily Cornell Silver

Lily Cornell Silver knows that being in your 20s is hard. Being
in your 20s and navigating COVID-19, college, grief, and your
mental health can feel completely overwhelming. Lily, a
21-year-old mental health advocate, and Claire talk about how
open, honest conversations with Lily’s mom, Susan Silver, are a
key part of her mental health regimen, including as Lily
continues to process losing her dad, Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell,
to suicide. This week’s practice is all about mental health and
self-care — for parents and for kids, in your 20s and beyond.
