Summary
When a child's mental health begins to unravel, our first instinct is often to build better systems. But are systems enough? In this episode of Facing the Dark , Wayne and Dr. Kathy discuss a California school struggling to care for students amid a growing mental health crisis and ask a deeper question: What do children actually need to flourish? They explore why genuine relationships, not simply more programs, remain one of God's primary ways of bringing healing, hope, and resilience to children.
