Onewel, let's talk about how do we navigate a way out of crisis. What ife the first most important steps a parent should be ing in response to an anxious child? We've already seen a surge of mental health challenges and young people. A therapist who lizes in adolescent anxiety is my top recommendation. Breathing exercises that you can do with a young person ahead of time are so important.

It is increasingly obvious that teenagers across the country are experiencing a spike in anxiety, often with serious and debilitating consequences. This week David and Curtis speak to one of the foremost experts on the subject, Kara Powell, executive director of the Fuller Youth Institute. Kara’s well-researched and empathetic insights are critical for all of us to help the teens in our lives navigate these challenging times.
