406: When Teen Stress Turns Silent: What Parents Miss (and How to Catch It) with Elliot Kallen

Your teen says “I’m fine.” But deep down, you know something feels off.  In this episode, we’re digging deep into the signs of teen depression and stress that parents often miss—and how silence can sometimes be the loudest cry for help. Joining us is Elliot Kallen, founder of A Brighter Day, a nonprofit dedicated to teen depression and suicide prevention after the heartbreaking loss of his son.  Together, we unpack how pressure to achieve is weighing kids down, why “fixing” backfires, and the small daily connections that can literally save a life.
