In this powerful episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl is joined by Carl Baisden and Enoch Stump to explore a crucial back-to-school question: When is academic structure enough, and when does your teen need more?

They unpack why school environments may temporarily stabilize behavior but often fall short of addressing the emotional or mental health issues beneath the surface. You’ll hear real insights from clinical experts about how to identify red flags, set realistic goals for change, and know when to seek higher levels of care such as residential treatment or therapeutic boarding school support.

Whether your teen is falling behind academically, struggling socially, or facing deeper behavioral health challenges, this episode will help you navigate the decision-making process with clarity and confidence.
