Working effectively with teens (with Marie Vakakis)

Mental Work

Bron and Marie explore how to work effectively with teenage clients. We cover 👉🏽 The importance of getting to the root cause of behaviours like vaping or excessive phone-use 👉🏻 Managing parents' expectations 👉 Ethical complexities when working with young people 👉🏿 TikTok self-diagnosis 👉🏾 Ways to build rapport with teens. I learned HEAPS when recording this ep, and I hope you do too!

Guest: Marie Vakakis, Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and Family & Couples Therapist at The Therapy Hub
