Your Teen with Sue and Steph

How a Well-Connected Family Can Act as a Buffer Against Mental Illness

Listen Later

We are living with a viral pandemic, but also a mental health pandemic for our teenagers. What is going on? Dr. Paul Sunseri joins us to explain how we can leverage our family dynamics to make things as easy for our kids as possible.

In this episode, we discuss...

  • As parents, we are already under so much pressure to be perfect – how can we see this differently, with less guilt and shame?
  • We often talk about technology as the root of the rise in teenage mental health problems. Where do stand on this school of thought?
  •  It’s hard to disagree that a healthy family offers protective factors that, as you say, can be the buffer against mental illness. How do we change the relationships in our families?
  • If the family needs to change, and change is so hard for everyone, is there more turmoil first before it gets better?
  • What if some change faster than others? Isn’t that hard for everyone if the change isn’t at the same pace?
  • Would you say that we ever arrive at a point of no return? When it’s too late to change the family dynamic?
