In this episode, David Burke, Founder and Director of Serenity Mesa Youth Recovery Center, shares how discovering the Nurtured Heart Approach transformed the way he connects with young people in recovery. Working with adolescents who often come from difficult, traumatic, and challenging backgrounds, David found that the approach offered a powerful new framework for building trust, strengthening relationships, and helping youth recognize their own greatness.David discusses what it was like to learn a completely different style of communication and why one of the approach's greatest strengths is that it doesn't require people to become someone they're not. The conversation also explores the impact of bringing the approach into Serenity Mesa, where it has transformed not only David's leadership but also the way staff engage with and support the youth they serve. From shifting culture to creating more positive interactions, David shares firsthand examples of how focusing on strengths can help young people thrive.This episode is an inspiring look at the power of authentic connection, the importance of seeing greatness in others, and how a simple shift in approach can create lasting change for both youth and the adults who support them.For more information about Serenity Mesa Youth Recovery Center visit their website at www.serenitymesa.com or call their office at 505-877-3644For more from me visit my website MussiDiskin.com or email me at [email protected] Check out my free parenting course called Parenting 101 at MussiDiskin.com/freecontent
