  • Summary

  • So many people are struggling. Children and parents too, are struggling with increased Mental Health challenges. On this podcast, founder of BackChat Speech Pathology, Olwen Forker talks to a range of experts – including Mums – to discuss causal factors for this. Olwen will share her own experience raising three boys during the last two decades, through some of the biggest changes in society. This podcast will be open, vulnerable, and very real. It is going to ruffle feathers, as the experts – Mums - and Olwen, explore these societal changes and how they’ve affected our parenting and our children. Especially when parenting children with additional needs. Conversations with Olwen is here for every parent – especially our Mums – to take something away to apply, to our own parenting experience.
