In this heartfelt episode of the Street Psychology Podcast, we sit down with Stacey Schafer, a dedicated child, adolescent, and young adult therapist from Denver, Colorado, and author of “With Love from a Children’s Therapist.” Stacey shares her personal journey from a traumatic childhood to becoming a beacon of hope for young people and their families.
Together, we explore the realities kids face today—from perfectionism and hidden struggles to the impact of school violence and the importance of early intervention. Stacey offers candid insights on how parents and caregivers can truly support children: by listening, validating their feelings, and breaking the stigma around mental health.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply care about the well-being of the next generation, this episode is a powerful reminder that being present and compassionate can change lives. Tune in for practical advice, moving stories, and a call to break the silence on kids’ mental health.
