Teenagers and Tough Times: Setting Boundaries and Building Resilience
“It's not just this linear, straight-line path. But continuing to have that conversation, and when you feel like you need the support, do a google search, you know, call Rosecrance, look up our website, you know, so that we can help you get you know, rally those troops and create a support system for that person.”
Teenagers refusing to engage can be a tough nut to crack, especially in the aftermath of a chaotic year. This episode of 'On Your Radar', hosted by John Williams, tackles this very issue with insights from Rosecrance experts Darrell Bock, Ryan Sinclair, and Jason Kuznicki. They dive into practical strategies for parents and educators to set boundaries and foster resilience in teens who are struggling to connect.
The episode sheds light on identifying signs of substance abuse and the importance of family involvement in treatment plans. One memorable moment comes from Jason Kuznicki, who emphasizes the non-linear nature of recovery: 'It's not just this linear, straight-line path'. He encourages seeking help when needed, whether through a simple Google search or by contacting Rosecrance directly. This conversation is packed with actionable advice on creating supportive environments and assessing the need for residential services.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just someone who cares about the well-being of young people, this episode offers valuable tools to help navigate these challenging times.
