How to Support Your Daughter Through Suicide, Self-Harm, and Mental Health Struggles with Dr. Jessica Peck (Dr. Nurse Mama) 

On this special Saturday episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, AHG’s Incoming Executive Director Rachael Culpepper welcomes Dr. Jessica Peck—pediatric nurse practitioner, mom of four, and author of Behind Closed Doors. Known to many as Dr. Nurse Mama, Jessica brings a wealth of experience to the conversation as she shares insight into the mental health crisis affecting today’s girls and what parents can do to support their daughters with Biblical wisdom and practical care. 

In a culture where anxiety, self-harm, and depression have become far too common, Dr. Peck provides compassionate advice for recognizing warning signs, building trust, and creating safe spaces for difficult conversations. You’ll also hear encouragement for weary moms who may feel overwhelmed, with reminders that God equips and sustains those called to shepherd young hearts through life’s valleys. 

If you’ve been following this week’s series on mental health and self-harm, this conversation beautifully ties it all together—offering hope, healing, and a call to action for families to walk in truth and grace.
