Book Recommendation: I Can Fix This by Kristina Kuzmic

In I Can Fix This, Kristina Kuzmic offers a heartfelt, honest, and empowering guide for parents navigating their child’s struggles — especially when those struggles are tied to mental health challenges. With her signature blend of humor and vulnerability, Kuzmic shares powerful insights for parents who feel overwhelmed, guilty, or unsure of how to help.

For families impacted by mental illness, this book offers something especially important: validation, practical guidance, and hope. Kuzmic addresses the emotional toll that mental health struggles can take on the entire family. She encourages parents to release the pressure of “fixing” their child’s pain while offering tools to build meaningful connection and provide steady, loving support.

Through relatable stories and actionable advice, I Can Fix This equips parents with strategies to:

• Support their child without taking on the impossible task of solving every problem
• Set boundaries that protect both their child’s growth and their own mental well-being
• Foster resilience and emotional safety in the home
• Manage feelings of guilt, frustration, and helplessness that often arise when mental illness impacts the family

Kuzmic’s compassionate approach reminds parents that showing up with love — not perfect answers — is what truly makes a difference. For parents navigating anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges within their family, I Can Fix This offers practical tools and a reassuring reminder that you’re not alone.

I highly recommend this book to parents or family members seeking guidance, encouragement, and strategies for creating a supportive, stable home environment — even in the face of mental health struggles.
