This month at Eden's Table, Marian and Angie welcome Denise, founder of The Mindful Network, a vetted online directory helping families navigate the often overwhelming world of mental health resources. Coming to you from Miami, this conversation dives deep into the stigma still surrounding mental health and how reframing it as "brain health" and "wellness" can open doors for families who are hesitant to seek help.

In this episode:

• Denise's personal journey that inspired The Mindful Network
• Why prevention matters: you don't need to wait for a crisis to start therapy
• Warning signs parents should watch for: isolation, substance use, dropping grades, and personality shifts
• How social media and today's fast-paced culture are reshaping youth mental health
• AI as a tool vs. the irreplaceable power of human connection in therapy
• The critical role of family involvement in the healing process
• Faith and therapy: how "let go, let God" coexists with professional help
• Practical tools for families: building partnerships, sharing meals, walking together, and simply playing games
• Myth or Fact: common misconceptions about therapy debunked
