Looking back on Morocco // A Therapeutic Service Trip to Remember
What happens when teens who’ve struggled with relationships, behavior, and anxiety are given the chance to serve others in a completely different part of the world?
In this inspiring episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl speaks with clinician Sean Carlin, MS, PCLC, program manager Tara Stever, and team member Enoch Stump about their recent therapeutic service trip to Morocco. Together with 12 students, they explored Moroccan culture, taught English in schools and community centers, and, most importantly, practiced what they’ve been learning in treatment in real-time, outside the classroom or therapy space.
You’ll hear firsthand how deep relationships, cultural humility, and structured support empowered these teens to show up with maturity and empathy. From building cross-cultural connections to learning how much family means in another culture, this episode is a powerful reminder of the impact real-world experiences can have on long-term healing and transformation.
If you're wondering what treatment can look like when it extends beyond the therapy room, this episode is for you.
