Episode 90: How GFI is Helping Students Live Victoriously

In this episode, Mark is joined by GFI's office manager, Liz, and our newest colleague, Dr. Scott Jenkins. Together, they discuss a recent camp, the increase of mental health issues amongst teenagers, and how phones/social media have added to this increase. Dr. Scott describes how the teenage brain works with all the emotions being developed, but logic (the pre-frontal cortex) is not. He states that responding to emotion with emotion only causes more confusion for teenagers. Scott, Mark, and Liz also discuss a new upcoming GFI resource for teenagers.
