Child and Adolescent Mental Illness: Care with Grace and Hope by Dr. James Dobson

May 10-11, 2021
Guest: Dr. Matthew Stanford

Part 1
Psalm 139:23 says, "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts and lead me in the way everlasting." Dr. Matthew Stanford, author of Grace for the Children, explains, "God not only knows children’s thoughts, but also their hearts. While He celebrates children’s joys, He also feels their pain and frustration." Whether your child is struggling with autism, depression, or Attention Deficit Disorder, Dr. Stanford wants you to know that there is no shame in getting professional help.

Part 2
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, almost 50% of kids between the ages of 13 and 18 will have a diagnosable mental disorder in their lifetime. Sadly, most go undiagnosed and untreated. Dr. Matthew Stanford, author of Grace for the Children: Finding Hope in the Midst of Child and Adolescent Mental Illness, sits down with Dr. Tim Clinton to urge parents and churches alike to be proactive, because children don't know how to ask for help. If you suspect something is amiss with your child, don’t delay in getting a mental health evaluation.
