Understanding Teen Mental Health - Turning Winds Podcast Series

Encouraging Your Teen to Be a Self-Solver

Turning Winds Season 2 Episode 9

What does true support look like for a struggling teen and how can parents avoid solving problems for their children while still walking alongside them?

In this episode, host Kevin Zundl sits down with Turning Winds Program Director Carl Baisden to explore the powerful shift that happens when teens are given the tools, time, and space to take ownership of their challenges. Carl breaks down the phases of treatment, the role of family involvement, and the importance of gradually inviting teens into their own growth and decision-making.

Whether you're dealing with power struggles, emotional reactivity, or constant crisis management, this episode offers valuable guidance on how to promote autonomy, resilience, and emotional maturity... without stepping in to fix everything.
