  • Turned Tragedy into a Global Movement for Teen Mental Health | Chris Coulter, MentorWell

    Most parents think they’re either overreacting or underreacting to signs of mental struggle in their teens — but what if the key lies in understanding subtle cues most overlook? Chris Coulter’s journey from tragic loss to transformative mentorship reveals the vital importance of emotional intelligence and proactive support for every family, educator, and employer.

    In this powerful conversation, Chris shares how the heartbreaking death of his daughter Maddie sparked the creation of MentorWell — an innovative program blending mentorship, emotional skill-building, and corporate awareness. You'll discover the three core questions that reveal whether your child is truly okay, and practical tools parents can use in just two minutes to check in with their teens before escalation.

    We break down:

    How youth burnout, family divorce, and social media are fueling mental health crises at younger ages than ever before.
    The “not me syndrome” — why parents often dismiss subtle signs, and how to develop vigilance without panic.
    The evolution of MentorWell from a mentorship platform to a global movement tackling loneliness, disconnect, and the stigma around mental health.
    The real impact of technology, how smartphones amplify anxiety, and the need for rules, involvement, and age-appropriate boundaries.
    The critical role organizations play in supporting employee parents, saving costs, and creating resilient workplaces.
    Why does this matter? Because silence and inaction can have devastating consequences — but awareness, early detection, and compassionate communication can save lives. Whether you're a parent, educator, or leader, understanding these insights equips you to foster stronger, healthier relationships and create lasting change.

    Perfect for anyone committed to preventing the next tragedy, raising emotionally intelligent kids, or transforming workplace culture around mental health. Join Chris Coulter, whose story of loss, hope, and advocacy proves that understanding and connection are the greatest tools we have.
