About this episode

Dr. Will Dobud discusses the paradox of youth mental health and advocates for co-adventure therapy.

Dr Will Dobud’s book, “Kids These Days”, shines the light on how the emphasis on youth mental health has paradoxically resulted in more pathologizing, more labelling, more medication and more institutionalizing of young people – all while rates of youth mental health skyrocket.  Something is not right. He argues that our systems don’t support human flourishing and in fact create harm in youth. Dr Will is an advocate for co-adventure therapy and other forms of building egalitarian and respectful relationships with youth that allow them to be the hero of their journey and to face and overcome the hurdles of life through micro-adventuring.  The book: www.kidsthesedaysbook.com His website:  www.willdobud.com Follow Will Dobud on social media:  FB: https://www.facebook.com/WillDobudPhD  Instagram: @WillDobud  Instagram: @Kids_These_Days_Book LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-dobud-5209ab74 X: @WillDobud ********** Thank you to FeedSpot for selecting “Parenting the Adlerian Way” as the # 1 parenting podcast in Canada two years in a row!
