On Our Sleeves: Teaching mental health and wellness at home with Nationwide Children’s Hospital & NBC4
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — For this Mental Health Awareness Month, NBC4 is proud to again partner with Nationwide Children’s Hospital for the “On Our Sleeves” campaign — which fights the stigma of mental illness.
Every Monday in May, their experts are talking live on NBC4i.com and the NBC4 News app at 6 p.m. — answering your questions about how to help your kids improve their mental health. If you have a question, email it to us now at wcmhmentalhealth@wcmh.com.
This week, Jennifer Bullock is speaking live with Kamilah Twymon, LPCC-S, MBA, Clinical Coordinator of School-Based Services and Community Partnerships at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Twymon is a clinical team coordinator for community-based programs and a licensed professional clinical counselor.
Twymon will talk about how parents and caregivers can teach mental health and wellness at home to help children adjust to all the changes caused by the pandemic — and make sure they feel safe and supported.
