The Culture of Affluence: Helping Kids Who Have It All

Culturally, there are conversations that are considered off limits: religion, politics, weight, age, and wealth. Yet, here in North Texas, we have quite a bit of wealth. We are considered an "affluent culture." Financially, we know what this means, but how does that translate to our kids? How does affluence play a role in the way our kids are being raised to think, feel, and behave? Current research tells us that affluent kids are experiencing epidemic rates of mental health issues. Parents are baffled and often say, "But they have it all?!" What is amiss here? Dr. Jameson will explore this often-controversial topic through her own work with affluent families as well as the current research on this culture.
