E11: Digital Boundaries, Pt. 2: Building a Technology ‘Contract’ With Your Hurting Teenager

Episode Summary

While it may be easy to demonize technology as the root cause of a teenager’s challenges with their mental health, more often than not, the technology is more of a symptom or cover-up of the root challenges in a hurting teenager. In this episode, Tim Overby interviews the HOHKC Clinical Coordinator, Vicki Bartholomew and alumni parent, Brandon Moeller in this conversation about building a technology agreement with your teenager as you rebuild trust with your teenager in the realm of phone use, social media, and online behavior.
