We recently published a blog called "The Real Mental Health Crisis Behind Concerns From The Surgeon General". In that blog we explore the recommendations by Dr. Vivek Murthy surrounding social media and its effects on mental health. A majority of the Surgeon General's Advisory, which can be found on our website, focused on youth and particularly, on teenagers. The Center for RelationaLearning has decided it's time we all start asking those young people to join in the conversation about their own futures and mental health. Despite being commonly ignored, teens have a vast knowledge and experience with social media and the impact it has on their lives. Listen in as we get the work started, and finally speak to the group of people we are all trying to make decisions for on how they feel about social media, mental health, and the best ways we could all positively impact their future.

In this episode, I get to sit down with my daughter Lisa. When I first started Relational Kaleideoscope, it was a video series, and Lisa was kind enough to be my very first guest. She is just phenomenal at speaking to the power of RelationaLearning and she is one of the most impactful RelationaLeaders I know. Listen in to the episode, and hear about Lisa's next phase of life, her philosophies on teaching and putting the relationship first, and to hear her wise words on following your true passions.

Lois Vermilya, Steve Preskill, and I have been lifetime thinking partners & relational friends. We have been learning with and from one another for 25 years now and our friendship has many deep levels. In this episode, we get to sit down to explore the levels of our longtime friendship, and my fellow co-authors and I discuss our latest edition of the book "Dialogue for Democracy". Steve, Lois and I wrote the first edition of Dialogue for Democracy in the early 2000s and have recently had the opportunity to publish a new edition available for e-book purchase on our website relationalearning.com.
