Supporting Our Teen's Mental Health: 1N5


Parenting a teen today feels different—and harder—than it did even a few years ago. Between academic pressure, social media, anxiety, and constant comparison, our kids are facing a world that can feel overwhelming. And parents are often left wondering: How do I help? What am I missing? Am I doing enough?


In this episode, we sit down with Tricia Buchert Chief Program Officer from 1N5 to talk honestly about what’s really going on with teen mental health in 2025. We break down the signs parents often overlook, how to start meaningful conversations with your teen, and practical steps you can take to support their emotional well-being—without adding more pressure.

This conversation is compassionate, clear, and full of real-world tools that make parenting teens just a little easier. If you’ve ever worried about your child’s stress, mood, or mental health, this episode offers insight, reassurance, and hope.
