TTHY PODCAST Episode #8: Brain-based Parenting, Part 2: Protecting the Brain

In December 2021, SAMHSA launched the “Talk.  They Hear You.”® campaign’s new “What Parents Are Saying—Prevention Wisdom, Authenticity, and Empowerment” podcast. This podcast provides a platform where parents and caregivers can get informed, be prepared, and take action by having open and honest conversations with their kids about substance use and mental health.  We are back for episode two of a three-part series on brain-based parenting with Dr. Crystal Collier, psychotherapist and author of The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide. In the first episode, we covered how the brain is formed and how to understand age-defined, executive function. In this second episode we cover how to protect that brain, the role of dopamine in human development, and something called the hedonic threshold. Don’t panic! Dr. Collier’s easy manner and clear ways of explaining these complex topics will help all parents understand the opportunities to support their kids.
