#48 How to raise resilient girls with Carine el Khazen Hadati
About this episode
On the occasion of International Women’s day 2023, I wanted to address the topic from a mental health angle. I chat to Carine el Khazen Hadati, the clinical lead for psychology services at the American Center for Psychiatry and Neurology (ACPN) in Dubai. In addition to her work as a clinical psychologist, Carine is also an expert on Eating & Weight Disorders and has established a CBT-E center of excellence in Dubai.
Women face challenges on a daily basis whether in their personal or professional lives. What is the impact of these inequities on mental health? And how can we as parents raise girls that grow up to be resilient, content and independent? How can we deal with bias in the workplace and how can we catch ourselves as we judge other women? If you are a father or a mother and you’re raising a young girl, then this episode is for you. If you want to raise boys that respect women, then this episode is also for you. If you have a child or if you are facing eating disorders, then this episode is also for you. The messages in this conversation are simple, yet so powerful.
