Description
Summary:
In this episode, Meagan Ku returns to explore the mental health challenges facing today's teens—and how parents can respond with wisdom and awareness. As a mom of three teenagers, Meagan shares personal insight and professional perspective on what's really going on with youth today, and why it's so different from past generations. Kim and Brian dive into tough questions: What are we missing? What do we need to see more clearly? We also revisit Meagan's previous episode (Ep. 206) and catch up on what's new in her world. From the alarming youth mental health stats in Arizona to the subtle red flags and substance use trends, we cover both the dangers and the protective factors that can make a lasting impact. Learn about the Strengthening Families Framework and discover practical ways to support the teens in your life.
