Today we're talking to an expert interventionist for at-risk, neurodivergent teens, Aaron M. Huey!

Aaron is an internationally known lecturer on archetypal imagery, body language, and martial arts and the Founder and President of Fire Mountain Programs. In 2009, he and his wife Christine opened a residential Mental Health and Dependency recovery treatment center for teens ages 12-17 in Colorado. Fire Mountain Residential Treatment Center was named one of the Top 50 Healthcare Providers in the United States in 2019, and in 2020 named one of the Top 100 Innovators in Healthcare.

Aaron is also a Family Consultant, a teen coach, and an addiction interventionist who facilitates powerful parenting events, as well as being a very happy husband and father of 2 young adults. Today, we’re discussing:

- What causes risky behavior in neurodivergent teens, and how can parents help?

- What interventions are most useful for at-risk neurodivergent teens?

- Aaron's ADHD childhood, experience with addiction, bullying, sexual assault, and recovery

- How is the thinking about risky behavior, neurodivergence and trauma changing?

- Parenting strategies for at-risk neurodivergent teens
