  Neurodiversity & Parenting: Finding Belonging

  Aug 26, 202633 minS7

  Listen to this heartfelt episode where a father shares his family's journey raising a neurodivergent child — navigating learning differences, sensory needs, and mental health challenges that unfolded in a learning environment that wasn't built for his son. He opens up about the moment he knew something had to change, what it took to advocate for the right support, and the search for a school where his child could finally feel understood, supported, and accepted. When the right supports came together, the transformation was remarkable — not just academically, but in his son's confidence and sense of self. For any parent or caregiver walking this path, this is an honest, hopeful conversation about recognizing when your child needs something different — and how finding the right fit can change everything. Listen now for a story about advocacy, love, and the difference the right environment can make. Resources: CHC Online CHC’s Catherine T.

  What Teens Wish Adults Understood About Mental Health

  Jun 17, 202659 minS6

  What does it feel like to be a teenager today? In this special Voices of Compassion episode, CHC's Teen Leadership Collaborative takes the mic to share an honest, unfiltered look at the challenges young people are navigating right now. From academic pressure and social media to friendships, anxiety, and the struggle to ask for help, these student leaders offer powerful insights into what it's really like growing up in today's world. Representing youth organizations across the Bay Area, the panel discusses how achievement culture impacts mental health, why some students' struggles go unnoticed, how social media shapes self-worth and connection, and what schools, families, and communities can do to better support young people. Moderated by Natalie Tamburello , Community Engagement Manager at CHC, and introduced by CHC’s CEO Dr. Ryan Eisenberg, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from teens about what they need most from the adults in their lives. Whether you're a parent, educator, mental health professional, or caregiver, this episode provides valuable perspective, practical insights, and a reminder that listening to youth voices is one of the most powerful ways to support their well-being.

  What Young People Need Most

  May 20, 202639 minS6

  <p>What if the most powerful thing an educator can do has nothing to do with curriculum? Search Institute has spent over 60 years studying what helps youth thrive – and the answer keeps coming back to one thing: relationships.</p><p>In this conversation with President & CEO of Search Institute, Ben Houltberg, PhD, LMFT, we unpack the science of developmental relationships – a specific, research-backed framework that goes far beyond simply "being nice" to students. We explore how a single teacher relationship can reshape a young person's trajectory, and how to shift from a deficit mindset to a strengths-based one – even when you're...

  Autism & ADHD: When It's Both

  May 6, 202635 minS6

  <p>Today we’re talking about something that can be really confusing for parents: what it looks like when a child has both ADHD and autism.</p><p>A lot of families notice that something is going on, but it’s not just one thing. Maybe their child is constantly in motion, struggles with focus, has big emotional reactions, or seems overwhelmed by things other kids handle more easily. Maybe social situations are hard, routines are hard, school is hard — but not in a way that’s easy to explain.</p><p>And for many parents, that leads to a lot of s...
