Parents Matter: Building Stronger Connections to Combat Substance Misuse

When it comes to mental health and substance misuse, students are suffering. But parents aren't doing much better.
Feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of raising a teen in today's world? You're not alone. In this episode of The Mayo Lab Podcast, bestselling author and national recovery advocate David Magee tackles the essential role parents play in addressing substance misuse among teens and young adults. While the program primarily targets students, Magee and his guest, Dr. Megan Rosenthal, emphasize that parents need support just as much.
They dive into how parents can better understand their own wellbeing and substance use, paving the way for more genuine conversations with their kids. By reflecting on their habits and mental health, parents can set a powerful example and foster a healthier environment at home. Dr. Rosenthal shares insights from The Mayo Lab and The William Magee Institute for Student Wellbeing, offering practical advice for parents to become more comfortable with uncomfortable topics.
Research shows that students are struggling with mental health issues and substance misuse, and parents often aren't faring much better. This episode aims to bridge that gap by providing parents with tools to improve their own wellbeing and, in turn, support their children's journey to recovery. Tune in for a candid, enlightening discussion that could make a real difference in your family's life.
