The top social problems teenagers struggle with every day – in coaching parents and their teenagers, these are always on the list – mental health, depression, bullying, substance abuse, obesity, academic problems, peer pressure – and these concerns you tend to find are multifarious but interrelated in many cases.

The first thing you ask is… where are they originating from?  

Well let’s ask the teenagers themselves…because no one can answer that question better than them.

In this episode of Behind the Scenes, Amber is joined by Jai Joshi, Ahan Kalra Mathur and Sara Daouk - today’s teenagers, covering some key points and solutions and spreading awareness in the areas most shy away from, discussing how if we set the right foundations for our youth, teenagers can truly flourish.  Together they share their experiences and offer advice to parents on some of the important steps to build a heathy relationship with the teens and handle the concerns effectively.  They explain the impact of creating a safe environment to open the lines of communication, the importance of stability in the home life and the crucial early warning signs that their teen may be struggling.
