Season 3, Episode 7: The mental health journey doesn’t end at graduation (Courtney Part 1)

Written By Susie Gurley

Courtney’s story of parenting a child who has battled mental illness most of her life starts with the first of a two-part series. Courtney says her daughter has always been “the most”.  Courtney’s daughter started struggling with anxiety around four years of age, survived a brain aneurism, and developed anorexia, all before graduating from high school.

Listen as Courtney shares the challenges of their journey and parenting a “fiercely independent, wildly intelligent” daughter.
