A Public Service Episode for Working Parents: Kid Mental Health, DBT Skills and Early Breast Cancer Detection EP 59

After an 18-month hiatus, Lori and Jason return to Parents at Work to share what pulled them away and what helped them survive it. In an honest, practical conversation, they unpack navigating kids’ mental health crises (and the confusing “get help” maze), what they learned about DBT therapy, medication decisions, referrals, and insurance fights. Lori also shares her early-stage breast cancer story as a public service announcement, especially for people with dense breasts and why advocacy, coordinated care, and community support matter more than ever.
