In this timely episode of The Bridge, our team dives into back-to-school season—a time of excitement, nerves, and major transitions for kids and teens.

We explore how to connect meaningfully with young people as they head into a new school year. From starting conversations that actually go somewhere, to creating safe spaces for open dialogue, this episode offers practical tips to help parents and caregivers support the emotional and mental well-being of their children.

We also share an easy, relatable exercise you can do with your teen to spark real connection and help them open up in a way that feels natural to them.

Tune in and discover how small conversations can lead to big impact.

Because when we build bridges with our kids, we strengthen their foundation for success—both in school and in life.
