Podcast Episodes
If you are trying to figure out how to connect with a teenager in your life, support a young person who is struggling, or understand what is really going on underneath the behaviour you are seeing, you are in the right place. Get on Their Turf is a podcast hosted by Dr. Suzanne Simpson for anyone who loves, raises, teaches, or works alongside teenagers and wants to do more than manage behaviour – they want to understand it. Every episode is built around one conviction: you cannot influence a child you have not connected with. Browse the episodes below and find exactly what your family needs.

When a teenager starts shutting down, most parents don’t know if what they’re seeing is serious or just a phase – and that uncertainty is one of the most painful places to be. This conversation with Chris Coulter, a father who lost his daughter to suicide, gets to the heart of what teen mental health support for parents actually looks like. If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing your child and don’t know how to reach them, this one is for you.
