Robyn's podcast with Shadoe Davis

Robyn and Shadoe Davis Talk Mental Health

Recently Robyn sat down with Shadoe Davis to chat about mental health. Shadoe is a well known radio personality in Canada who launched a mental health podcast just over a year ago. It has been a huge success in Canada and he is gaining followers daily.

The Shadoe Davis Mental Wellness Show is designed to help people reach out for help in their struggles with mental health. In each episode you'll hear somebody's story. They're all different and yet remarkably similar. It's Shadoe's hope you'll find comfort in the realization that you are not alone and it doesn't have to be this way. 


As Shadoe says (and I 100% agree), "Robyn Priest is one the most interesting, open, caring and colourful people I've ever met. She tells us all about peer support and why it's so important."

I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast and please share with anyone who would benefit from hearing Shadoe's podcasts.


Shadoe has chatted with some amazing individuals in his podcast. I hope you check out some of his guests. I also had the pleasure of being on Shadoe's podcast and so did my daughter, Shelby.

I spoke about being a parent and the realization of how important my own mental health is in supporting my daughters. I also talk about my experience raising both my daughters and why peer support matters so much to me. Shelby talks about her mental health journey. Please check them out.


Please reach out, I look forward to hearing what you think of the podcasts.

The Truth About College Binge Drinking

 

What Parents Need to Know About College Binge Drinking

by Amelia Arria, Ph.D.
Binge drinking alcohol
The feeling of sending a grown child off to college can be described as a strange mixture of pride, relief and severe anxiety. What do parents need to know as their adult child prepares to take this big step? As a public health researcher, I have some good news to share, and some reminders about what to be aware of during this critical transition for both you and them.

The first piece of good news is that your voice matters. Your child might not tell you, but when researchers have asked them about your influence, they find that parent attitudes and the rules you put in place during their development are major influences on their risk-taking behavior. Preparing and protecting your child from engaging in excessive drinking during college starts way before “drop-off” day. Even in middle school, and throughout high school, sending a clear message of your disapproval for underage drinking is critical and equally important in college.

To some parents, it might be tempting to think that you can “teach” your child how to drink responsibly by allowing them to drink before going to college. Many parents also think that not allowing their children to drink turns alcohol into “forbidden fruit,” increasing the child’s interest in drinking. Instead, research has shown that having parents who communicate clear expectations against using alcohol during high school is associated with a lower chance of drinking excessively during college.
