About this listen

 Every week 'Generation What' talks about how to address common mental health struggles and the disconnect between the older and younger generations and how it affects relationships between teens and parents, young adults and their professors and bosses, friendships, self-esteem, and more.  This podcast gives insight and concrete takeaways on how to better manage mental health and how we can improve ourselves individually, come together and better understand one another.
  • In this episode Doug and Janene introduce Michael Pack who has experience being trail staff for the troubled teen program Anasazi.  This program has a high rate of recovery, but especially a reputation for parents and teens creating long term habits on how to better deal with relationship struggles and misunderstandings.   Michael explains how this program is different and more effective than others because it focuses on helping teens heal in nature through learning survival skills and even meeting with psychologists in nature while their parents participate in a mandatory 3 day seminar.  The theory behind this program focuses on repairing family relationships for long term individual growth and relationship healing.
