I believe that being a parent is one of life's biggest challenges as well as one of its greatest joys. Whether trying to handle the effects of our own parents' parenting of us, or navigating the sometimes stormy waters as a parent of your own children, the more support you have, the better job you can do.

Even when seemingly calm, there can be unseen turbulence beneath the surface. Mental health similar to characteristic of water. The slightest change in life can cause uncertainty, anxiety, depression, and more. Trauma for mental health can be like a major hurricane or tsunami: detrimental. A person can feel like they are drowning with no help in sight.
