Understanding Teen Mental Health - Turning Winds Podcast Series

Christmas Shopping as Clinical Assignment

Turning Winds Season 2 Episode 11

In this heartwarming episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl speaks with Carl Baisden about the unique holiday traditions at Turning Winds and how these moments are intentionally used to support therapeutic growth.

From cutting down their own Christmas trees to completing a clinical assignment that involves choosing thoughtful gifts for one another, students begin to shift their focus from themselves toward connection, empathy, and gratitude. Carl shares why this season often becomes one of the most impactful periods for teens in treatment and how, for many, it becomes their most meaningful Christmas yet.

If you're a parent who has felt the weight of holiday conflict, this episode offers hope, perspective, and a chance to see the season in a new light.
