Building Teen Connections: Katelyn Bolte The Well Mind Podcast

Katelyn Bolte joins me in episode 18 of The Well Mind Podcast. This is a conversation focused on adolescent mental health and parenting teens. Katelyn is a mental health counselor and the director of a day treatment program for adolescents. Katelyn was a wonderful guest. We cover a lot of ground during our discussion as we talk about schooling during the pandemic and the transition back into school. We also address the struggles that social isolation has amplified for our youth, emotional development during the teen years, and there is plenty of parenting focused talk throughout the conversation. This is a must listen for any parent of a teen or anyone that will have a teen in the near future. Katelyn understands the real challenges that teens and their families are facing and she shares a wealth of practical information that I hope you can integrate into the flow of your family life. More than anything Katelyn and I drive home the need for parents to cultivate connections with their teens during these critical years of life.
