Brittany Talley, licensed professional counselor and play therapist presented a mental health webinar focusing on two of the major disorders people commonly experience: anxiety and depression. The webinar concluded with options for treatment and an FOP community discussion of how mental health disorders can be compounded by life with FOP. Additional questions from attendees prompted discussions about choosing the right therapist, resources when insurance does not pay for therapy and what you can do to support a loved one you think may be struggling with anxiety or depression.
