SARA OLSHER | HOLDING HANDS: SUPPORTING CHILDREN THROUGH PARENTAL CRISES
When faced with the worst thing that’s ever happened to you, how do you want to show up for yourself — and your family? Sara Olsher is a cancer survivor and also experienced a difficult divorce when her daughter was under 2 years of age. She is the founder of Mighty + Bright, which provides a wealth of information and tools to help overwhelmed parents prioritize mental health for their kids, learning together and incorporating coping skills into day-to-day life.
When parents are dealing with something hard, our kids are too. When we’re trying to survive, how do we help our kids through the worst thing that ever happened to them?
Key questions we discussed:
💥 How can we support each other with empathy in these times?
💥 Little people know when something is wrong. What happens if we don't talk to them about it?
💥 What resources are available and appropriate for children and families to open communication?
💥 If it's a big deal from their perspective, how do we teach problem-solving skills and build resilience?
💥 The power of admitting it when we make mistakes as adults.

Sara Olsher is a cancer survivor and also experienced a difficult divorce when her daughter was under 2 years of age.
