2.5 Amy SlutzkyMy Conversational Partner:

Amy Slutzky is a nationally board-certified counselor, an award-winning teacher, and one of my closet friends.  As the founder of Live N’ Learn Consulting, her goal is to help individuals and families be their best selves by using successes in the past to confront and conquer current life challenges.  She also helps traditional schools and community organizations fill the teaching toolboxes of all classroom teachers with strategies that give insights into the psychology of students.

Pay Attention To:

  1. How the experience of mental health care isn’t like the movies.
  2. The power of talk therapy – and when pills are necessary (and when they’re not).
  3. How to take the first steps to getting help.
  4. The power of positive asset search.
  5. Why it’s important to treat yourself as well as you treat others.
  6. How YA fiction helps Amy connect with at-risk youth.
