#212- Shaney Andler: From Teacher to Advocate | Skills to Cope with Teen Mental Health
Update: 2024-09-25
Description
This week, I was able to sit down and have an amazing conversation with Shaney Andler, a former special education teacher who developed an incredible teen mental health program after her own son's struggles with anxiety. Here are the key topics that we had discussed:
- How Shaney's personal journey with her son's anxiety inspired her to develop a practical, accessible program to equip teens with essential coping strategies.
- The stigma around mental health, but also a concerning trend of teens embracing it as an identity
- How she believes many teens cope with problems by immersing themselves in their phones but then exacerbate issues rather than providing healthy coping mechanisms
- Her goal of coping skills to be taught proactively, so teens have the tools to manage challenges as they arise
- Her written book, "Back Pocket for Parents" which provides coping skills for parents
- The Coping Skills Book that aims to provide teens with easy and quick to read practical coping skills that would help them.
