Divorce is fairly common in the United States; approximately 50% of marriages end in a breakup. But despite how standard the process may be at this point, divorce can be incredibly stressful on children, and dealing with the emotional impact can take a lot of time, work, and patience.

On this week's How 2 Deal, therapist Micheline Maalouf [1] is joined by Outer Banks [2] star Chase Stokes, who has dealt with divorcing parents not once –– but twice. The actor is an outspoken advocate for addressing mental health issues openly and honestly through this work with the Bring Change to Mind [3] organisation, which aims to end the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Tune in to hear Chase's experience, and check out Bring Change to Mind [4] if you're at all curious about keeping the conversation going.
