What this episode covers
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Will Dobud, co-author (with Dr. Nevin Harper) of the groundbreaking new book Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Your Mental Health. We explore what it really means to support today’s kids and teens in a world where diagnoses, labels, and interventions are at an all-time high—yet mental health outcomes continue to decline. Dr. Dobud shares his unique lens as a researcher, social worker, and outdoor therapist to reframe how we think about children, resilience, and the role of parents. This conversation is a refreshing, hopeful reminder that kids don’t need to be “fixed”—they need connection, mastery, freedom within boundaries, and adults who notice their strengths.
