ABOUT THE BOOK
Do you know a kid or teen dealing with anxiety or depression, or thoughts of suicide? Do you sense a child might be struggling with something, but you just can’t put it into words? Maybe you’re a youth pastor or small group leader wondering how to help kids who are facing despair.
Not knowing how to help those dealing with difficult emotions can leave us feeling intimidated, powerless, and discouraged. It can be scary.
But there is hope. You can take comfort in knowing you can help.
Whether you are a parent or a leader or teacher who works with kids or teenagers, Seen will help you:
- Understand how the brain works when someone is in despair
- Learn why some of the things you’d think would help sometimes make matters worse
- Discover simple yet powerful tools you can use every day to connect with a kid or teenager to help them heal
A beautiful convergence of faith and psychology, Seen is a quick read that uses both scientific dialogue and real life stories to give you—and the kids you love—hope.
