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.
Episode 56
If your teenager has gone quiet and every conversation ends in a shrug, you are not alone. In this episode, Dr. Suzanne Simpson shares how to connect with your teenage child by taking initiative and truly listening, drawn straight from her research with teens in crisis.
Episode 46
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.
Episode 34
Bipolar disorder often surfaces right around the early teen years, and Gabe Howard’s family spent years dismissing it as ordinary teenage angst. He shares what he wishes the adults around him had understood sooner, and what to do if you suspect something is wrong.
