Additionally, we chat with a special guest, Jane Carmignani, fellow Clinical Psychologist who has been working in schools, various clinical settings and private practice for over 20 years. She has a passion for working with children, adolescents and their families. Jane believes that connection is key to fostering strong relationships in families, and relationships that will nurture empathy, resilience and positive wellbeing. There are many challenges facing our young people today and implementing protective factors through family education and support is paramount. Jane loves to hear the stories of families and work collaboratively to develop and strengthen their bonds and mental health.
