Episode 27: Paradigm Shifts in Youth Mental Health with Dr. Doug Bolton
My guest for this episode of Let's Talk is Dr. Doug Bolton!
Dr. Bolton is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Director of School Consultation for Formative Psychological Services. He spent over 20 years as a psychologist and principal at North Shore Academy, a K-12 therapeutic school in Highland Park, IL. He is now speaking nationally, under contract to publish a mass-market book on parenting in the next 12-18 months, and continues to maintain his clinical practice.
I chat with Dr. Bolton about:
How parents and teachers are putting unnecessarily heavy amounts of stress on kids, and steps we can take to stop
How our emphasizing high achievement in school as the key to a kids' future happiness and health is misguided, and what the alternatives are
Parenting strategies to help kids to cope more effectively with stress in today's post-COVID world
How to leverage the positive power of community to bolster and address youth mental health issues
To get in touch with Dr. Bolton you can reach out to him at his practice, LinkedIn, or Twitter.
