Raising Kids During A Mental Health Crisis | Raise ‘Em Up Part 3

Liquid Church

Over the last decade, more young people have struggled with things like anxiety, depression, and self-harm. As parents or caring adults, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to do. But here’s some good news: You don’t have to be a professional to make a difference. Love and connection can play a powerful role in healing.

Mental health challenges aren’t just about finding a doctor or therapist—though that’s important. Healing also involves social support and emotional care. God created our brains in a way that responds to love. When kids feel safe, loved, and understood, their brains can actually begin to heal from the inside. This is because love triggers something in our brains that helps us feel more secure and calm.

You don’t have to be perfect. What really matters is being present and showing up for your kids. Spending time together and making eye contact helps them feel connected to you. It’s not about always getting it right, but about showing that you care.

When we make our kids feel seen and understood, it’s like showing them a glimpse of the love and care God has for them. That kind of love has the power to heal, and it starts with simply being there.
