How can parents help teenagers build resilience and develop healthier ways to cope with stress?
Psychotherapist, executive coach and accredited sober coach Nick Jonsson joins Where Parents Talk host Lianne Castelino to discuss parental stress, addiction, recovery, hustle culture, teen mental health and the importance of connection in raising resilient children.
Drawing on his own recovery journey and experience as a father, Jonsson shares practical strategies for building trust with teenagers, having honest conversations about stress and substance use, modelling vulnerability, recognizing unhealthy coping mechanisms and creating stronger family routines. He also explains why resilience is built through recovery, connection and asking for help—not relentless striving.
