Guests Jessica Bordeleau and Dr. Rick Marrs join us for a conversation about teenagers and how their youth pastors and volunteer youth leaders can help them face their feelings of being overwhelmed and anxious. Jessica has worked with youth and young adults for more than 15 years in local and national capacities. She serves as a digital media producer and is the author of CTA’s Just Breathe book. Rick has been doing counseling and soul care work for over 40 years as a professor, counselor, licensed psychologist, pastor, and author. He served as a reviewer of the book during development.

The conversation touches on kinds of stress teenagers face, how to know when you should refer a stressed-out young person to a professional counselor for help, and encouragement for youth leaders.
