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. They include: 


Sashbear Family Connections Program

HOPE Program
