Must listen episode! 

In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl sits down with Carl Baisden to explore how the smallest moments often lead to the biggest breakthroughs.

They discuss how one-on-one interactions and a deep understanding of each teen's emotional world can turn behavioral challenges into therapeutic opportunities. Instead of focusing on control, the Turning Winds approach centers on empathy, curiosity, and genuine connection.

Carl shares how the team is trained to look past surface behaviors and into the core of each student’s struggle. The result is an environment where teens feel seen, supported, and capable of lasting change.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or clinician, this episode offers practical insights into what makes adolescent treatment effective and how relationships are often the key to transformation.
