Booking Overview

A parent-focused mental-health interview show featuring psychologists, physicians, authors, advocates, and parents with lived experience discussing challenges affecting children and families. PR agencies could credibly pitch child and adolescent mental-health clinicians, parenting authors, family advocates, recovery specialists, and experts with relevant personal experience; booking appears relatively accessible because guests are generally subject-matter experts and advocates rather than major celebrities.
