Ep 1B | Teen Mental Health 101 featuring Dr. David Schreiber & Dr. Claudia Welke

In this episode, hosts Beth Hope, LCSW, and Britt Teasdale are joined by Compass Health Center co-founders and psychiatrists Dr. David Schreiber and Dr. Claudia Welke for an honest, grounding conversation about teen mental health. Together, they explore what today’s teens are really struggling with—from chronic overwhelm and emotional dysregulation to the pressure of constant connection—and why it can be so hard for parents to know what’s “normal” versus what may signal a need for support. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and their own perspectives as parents, David and Claudia help demystify the mental health landscape, offering clarity without alarm and guidance without fear-based messaging. This episode addresses the questions parents are asking every day: How do I know when to step in? Who should my child talk to? How do I balance resilience and support? And how can I stay grounded when everything feels urgent? Whether your teen is thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers reassurance, perspective, and practical insight—reminding parents that noticing, staying curious, and showing up matter more than having all the answers. Learn More About Compass Health CenterDownload our Parent Guide
