SCHNECKSVILLE, PA (June 22, 2026) - Despite the decline in stigma and greater recognition of the need for comprehensive mental and behavioral healthcare in our society, people continue to struggle with talking about such issues with their family and friends. In the latest issue of Healing Magazine, published today at www.healingmagazine.org, KidsPeace examines ways to break down barriers to sharing insights and concerns related to mental health:

• How families can use empathy and the power of supportive language to connect with a struggling child;
• How respectful communication and language that focuses on “behavior, not character” can help open a connection with someone coping with a substance use disorder;
• How understanding the communication styles of a person with autism can lead to interactions that fulfill the expectations of all those involved;
• And how a public official came to the decision to talk publicly about their private mental health struggles, and what happened next.
