Building Stronger Families Through ConnectionIn this heartfelt episode of Facets of Connection, we sit down with therapist, author, and mother, Susan Caso, MA, LPC, to explore how respectful, connected relationships between parents and teens can help shift the trajectory of our current youth mental health crisis. Drawing from over two decades of experience and her book The Parent-Teen Connection, Susan offers actionable tools for building emotional closeness, fostering trust, and transforming conflict into meaningful repair.
Susan and Sarah dive into key concepts like belonging at home, the difference between the “parent role” and the “mom/dad role,” how to model emotional regulation, and why perfection isn’t the goal—connection is. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone raising, working with, or simply caring about the next generation. Whether you're parenting a toddler or a teen, this episode offers rich insight and thoughtful guidance for navigating the relational work of raising whole humans.
